Issue created Jun 01, 2006 by Bugzilla Migration User@bugzilla-migration

Japanese fonts not displayed.

Submitted by Naoki

Assigned to poppler-bugs

Link to original bug (#7093)

Description

= Transfering this bug from GNOME Bugzilla: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343564 =

PDF documents created with Microsoft office with Japanese fonts do not render correctly (at all). As if the font was missing.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a document in MS Office using Japanese characters.
  2. Export as PDF
  3. Open in Evince.

Actual results: File is open with no text.

Expected results: Rendered japanese fonts would be visible as when the document was created.

Does this happen every time? Yes.

Other information: Seems to be the same bug as http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320866

Simple test documents created in OpenOffice work as expeceted. This problem also affects Xpdf making me thing it's a font issue.

Output from evince is :

evince Desktop/バリューコマース株式会社様 御見積書12.pdf Error: could not create truetype face

some font thing failed Error: could not create truetype face

some font thing failed Error: could not create truetype face

some font thing failed Error: could not create truetype face

some font thing failed

..

Xpdf prints this :

xpdf Desktop/バリューコマース株式会社様 御見積書12.pdf Error: Couldn't create a font for 'MS-Gothic' Error: Couldn't create a font for 'MS-PMincho' Error: Couldn't create a font for 'MS-PMincho' Error: Couldn't create a font for 'MS-PMincho' Error: Couldn't create a font for 'MS-PMincho' ... and so on repeating the same error.

msttfontcore is installed.

Problem persists with current dev tree versions of evince/xpdf.
