From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Description of problem: The current xpdf rpm package in Fedora has serious mistake that it can show font embedded Japanese pdf file but cannot show Japanese pdf without font inside. This patch http://thinkpad.et8.net/lucida/linux-patch/files/xpdf-3.0-cjk-font.diff fixes CID->GID mapping fontCIDType2, which is the CID font format with TrueType wrapped inside with dictionary. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Japanese PDF with xpdf 2. No string... 3. Actual Results: No string Expected Results: Actual Japanese string. Additional info: This patch is not Japanese specific so should not break other languages. And you need to delete displayFontX line and add the line displayCIDFontTT Adobe-Japan1 "/usr/share/fonts/ja/TrueType/kochi-gothic-subst.ttf" in /etc/xpdfrc.ja. Korean and Chinese are supposed to have that problem too and it'll be fixed samely.
