Adding the new entries into font.conf as suggested in Bug 165939 did not fix the
issue.

Comment 5 Leon Ho 2005-11-08 05:33:24 UTC
I guess it is because of the ghostscript filename is not correct. please try now.

Comment 6 Lawrence Lim 2005-11-08 06:05:12 UTC
Which packages needs update to complete the testing?? Only
fonts-chinese-3.00.pre2-1??

Comment 7 Akira TAGOH 2005-11-08 13:19:12 UTC
perhaps this should be reassigned to xpdf since we had a new chinese fonts and
/usr/share/xpdf/chinese-{simplified,traditional}/add-to-xpdfrc has to be
modified anyway.
Than, can you update them for new Chinese fonts? although I can make a patch for
them, simply you can replace bsmi00lp.ttf and gbsn00lp.ttf to uming.ttf so that
new Chinese fonts are integrated for both of Simplified/Traditional Chinese fonts.

Re #Comment #5

Updating to latest fonts-chinese pkg does not help for evince and xpdf.

Comment #8:
fonts-chinese-3.00.pre2-1 is not the updated one. fonts-chinese-3.01-2 is.

Comment 12 Lawrence Lim 2005-11-09 06:54:03 UTC
Re: Comment #11
Yup. That was the package used.

# rpm -q fonts-chinese
fonts-chinese-3.01-2

Comment 13 Than Ngo 2005-11-09 11:16:03 UTC
Akira, are bsmi00lp.ttf and gbsn00lp.ttf now removed in the new fonts-chinese
package? and the replacement for that is uming.ttf ?

Comment 14 Than Ngo 2005-11-09 11:22:43 UTC
there's a new xpdf package in rawhide which fixes this problem. Thanks

Comment 15 Akira TAGOH 2005-11-09 11:42:19 UTC
Comment #13:
Yes, that's right. uming.ttf is a new Chinese font, which replaced
{bsmi,gbsn}00lp.ttf.
