Description Nakai 2004-05-19 04:00:03 EDT

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.
