Indeed Evince(maybe poppler?) has a regression problem over a period of time
including Natty Alpha2.
Current daily-live 20110418 with poppler-data and ttf-takao-{mincho,gothic}
installed shows non-embedded characters specified as Ryumin(Japanese Serif:
Mincho font) properly.
However my upgraded system still does not show their characters. I can't find
where the difference come from. Any ideas?
BTW, non-embedded characters specified as GothicBBB(Japanese Sans-serif:
Gothic font) are not showed even if in current daily-live. But this is
not regression. Evince in Maverick does not show their characters
either. It seems to be a bug of parsing the font name. Attached patch is
a workaround of this issue.
Although I think it's a severe issue not to show Ryumin and GothicBBB, I
don't think it's needed to deal with "Times New Roman" which does not
have Japanese glyphs like attached on #8. I think removing DejaVu lines
is a overreacted workaround, because I think it's a problem of PDF
itself.
