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:
- Create a document in MS Office using Japanese characters.
- Export as PDF
- 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.
