= 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/ãƒãƒªãƒ¥ãƒ¼ã‚³ãƒžãƒ¼ã‚¹æ ªå¼ä¼šç¤¾æ§˜ã€€å¾¡è¦‹ç©æ›¸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/ãƒãƒªãƒ¥ãƒ¼ã‚³ãƒžãƒ¼ã‚¹æ ªå¼ä¼šç¤¾æ§˜ã€€å¾¡è¦‹ç©æ›¸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.
