Public bug reported: Binary package hint: language-selector
In some Japanese PDF files(font is not embedded) could not read with evince. So, Japanese user could not read many pdf files at right out of the box. ------------------------------------------------------------------ How reproduce: 1) install natty 2) login and set "Japanese" : system settings -> Language Settings -> Install/Remove Language -> add "Japanese" 3) install poppler-data(just in case, it is automatic applied in Natty) # apt-get install popller-data 4) Open attached PDF file with evince. Actual result: - PDF characters are not readable, Kanji chars become squares. - see https://launchpadlibrarian.net/69251554/evince-actual.png Expected result (pathced): - PDF characters are readable. - see https://launchpadlibrarian.net/69251615/evince-expected.png ------------------------------------------------------------------ Solution: We(me, Ikuya AWASHIRO, Mitsuya Shibata, Takashi Sakamoto) test with these behavior. In conclusion, it came from /etc/fonts/conf.avail/69-language-selector-ja-jp.conf . That file bind at top with "DejaVu Serif" / "DejaVu Sans", evince could not properly handle the these designation. However, this bug *not* evince's. IMHO, in a precise sense, that cause evinces bad behavir. evince could not handle "font-linked" settings, but other(many) application could use this. In ideal behavior, evince use "DejaVu Serif" / "DejaVu Sans" bindings handle the correctly, but that is not easy. I approach the patch. It is workaround for that bad behavior. ** Affects: language-selector (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 natty running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/759882 Title: In some Japanese PDF files(in evince) could not display Kanji characters -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
