Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xpdf

I know that the xpdf-chinese-simplified package was removed since
xpdf 3.02-9, but the problem is that now some Chinese pdf files
can't be viewed under my current system, though I do can view the
other Chinese pdf files.

Here is the console error output when viewing those that xpdf can't
view: 

 Error: Unknown character collection 'Adobe-GB1'
 Error: Couldn't find 'UniGB-UCS2-H' CMap file for 'Adobe-GB1' collection
 Error: Unknown CMap 'UniGB-UCS2-H' for character collection 'Adobe-GB1'
 . . . 
 Error: Unknown font tag 'F6'
 Error: Unknown font tag 'F8'
 Error: Unknown font tag 'F11'
 Error: Unknown font tag 'F8'
 Error: Unknown font tag 'F8'
 . . . 

I don't know if the problem is due to that some Chinese pdf files
have Chinese fonts embedded and some others not, but I do see that
the Language Support Packages, including xpdf-chinese-simplified,
are still listed in the current xpdf home page,
http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/download.html

The error-triggering pdf sample file can be downloaded from
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=10;filename=ITIL-V3.pdf;att=1;bug=623728

Please do further investigations.

Thanks
