Hi everyone,
I have a problem view a Chinese pdf file, as you can see in the
attached screenshot. I have poppler-data installed. Many other pdf
files in Chinese are displayed correctly.
I have notice the font name may be the problem.
According to acrobat reader, there are totally 9 fonts.
Four are embedded, One is "X0" (Type 3), the other 4 are not embedded.
The 4 fonts that are not embedded are:
FangSong_GB2312,仿å®_GB2312
SimHei,é»ä½
KaiTi_GB2312,楷ä½_GB2312
SimSun,å®ä½
I already have them on my system(fc-list). They are all truetype fonts.
I try to run pdffonts on the file for the first 10 pages and get some
non-ASCII(unreadable) character on the terminal. I attached the output
of the command
pdffonts -f 1 -l 10 ~/d/myfile.pdf > page1to10
cat can't handle it, but vim can show it as following which is correct:
name type emb sub uni object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- ---------
å®ä½ TrueType no no no 1599 0
é»ä½ TrueType no no no 1723 0
仿å®_GB2312 TrueType no no no 1600 0
楷ä½_GB2312 TrueType no no no 1598 0
So this fonts are using Chinese character in their names compared to many other
files which uses the English name of the same font. I don't know if it matters.
Just guessing :)
Any suggestions are welcome.
I'm using the following debian pkg:
libpoppler4 0.10.4-3
libpoppler-glib4 0.10.4-3
poppler-data 0.2.1-3
evince 2.24.2-2
