Ah, I might have misunderstood this report. I thought this report
handles early-Natty regression that characters like Ryumin which can be
shown on Maverick are shown as squares on Natty.

And now my question is,
Does this report handles the problem that when SHIFT_JIS encoded font-names are 
specified, evince(poppler) cannot show the characters?
You have not mention SHIFT_JIS until comment #11, I'm confused.

BTW, I mentioned parsing problem as that even if GothicBBB is shown in
properties window properly, but characters which are specified as
GothicBBB shown as squares. I have reported this issue as Bug #769827.

Just for my curiosity, supposing that SHIFT_JIS encoded font-names complies PDF 
specifications, what software uses SHIFT_JIS encoded font-names as far as you 
know?
I'd like to know how many PDF files are affected.

Just for your information, "poppler should fall back font properly" issue seems 
to be reported in upstream as poppler.
