** Description changed: - poppler library cannot parse font weight "Medium". - Therefore in Japanese(ja) locale, characters which are not font-embedded but specified as "GothicBBB" are shown as squares and not readable. - See attached screenshot. - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/769827/+attachment/2086084/+files/actual.png + The poppler library cannot parse font weight "Medium". Therefore in + Japanese(ja) locale, characters which are not font-embedded but + specified as "GothicBBB" are shown as squares and not readable. GothicBBB is widely used as Japanese sans-serif(gothic) font. It has the full name "GothicBBB-Medium-Identity-{H,V}" in properties window on such as Evince. But poppler library cannot parse "Medium" string, so does not hit <string>GothicBBB</string> in fontconfig settings on /etc/fonts/conf.d/69-language-selector-ja-jp.conf. On the other hand, Ryumin which is widely used as Japanese serif(mincho) font has the name "Ryumin-Light-Identity-{H,V}", but does hit <string>Ryumin</string>. - How to reproduce: - 1. intall Ubuntu in Japanese(ja) locale - 2. confirm poppler-data, ttf-takao-{mincho,gothic} installed and "/etc/fonts/conf.d/69-language-selector-ja-jp.conf -> /etc/fonts/conf.avail/69-language-selector-ja-jp.conf" symlink created. - 3. open attached PDF file - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/769827/+attachment/2086089/+files/g_non_emb.pdf + How to reproduce (assuming that you're not starting in Japanese locale): + 1.
