At first, some boring(;-) background for why I write this comment and attachment...
I had the same problem. and I was not informed of the CAUSE of this problem. So, I came by bug tracking system. And about 1 day later I was informed from this bug tracking system and a kind person that this was related with poppler-data package, and I installed the poppler-data package. and partly this problem was fixed. But still remained very many blank letters. I think the remained blank letters are caused NOT by the poppler-data BUT by the writer of the document (or AT LEAST, the SYSTEM(in the MS Windows OS, and the default and proprietary font For Korean, the GULIM font that OpenSource Operating System cannot provide by default.) that produced the pdf file). But, the EVINCE program has some mistakes TOO. These are as follows. the Evince did not informed this Problem to the innocent user of Evince software that this problem. the Evince should have informed to the user, if he/she was to read CJK PDF file, the poppler-data package should be required. the Evince was mute for this problem. In contrast, the Adobe Reader program informs to the user about some missing font, and the processing package, and guides to install the appropriate package, when he/she attempts to open the CJK or Indic language PDF files. the name 'evince' and its related package 'poppler-data' has no similarity or hint that those are related. At least evince package should have information about the poppler-data as at least 'suggested' or appropriately 'required' dependency for CJK language user environment. Evince should not mute for the missing fonts when opening documents. It should inform the user that "Some (GULIM for example) fonts are missing for correctly viewing this document". That's all. PS: the PDF document is open document. you can freely get it at the site below. http://www.kr.freebsd.org/doc/KoreanFreeBSDHandbook/ Thank you. ** Attachment added: "bug_of_poppler-data_with_CJK_PDF01.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23516591/bug_of_poppler-data_with_CJK_PDF01.png -- [MASTER] Can't read PDF file with CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) text https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197537 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
