The monospaced (typewriter font) text in the attached PDF fails to display in Evince (or with pdftoppm), but works with xpdf. The missing characters are apparent on page three. I concluded that this is a poppler issue by noticing that I can reproduce the problem with a program in poppler-utils. $ pdftoppm -f 3 -l 3 ~/software/xetex/fontspec.pdf Output consists of: Error: Missing language pack for 'Adobe-Japan1' mapping Error: Unknown font tag 'F5.1' Error (7597): No font in show with the last two lines repeating (the number increments as it does). I've tried to get a reduced testcase, but have been unsuccessful thus far. Tested with current poppler head (commit e5c4862b0c1b08a0fab47070cb9c862026e93567).
Created attachment 26737 [details] Screenshot demonstrating the issue. I can't attach the affected PDF; it's too large. But you can see it here: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27785016/fontspec.pdf
You concluded wrong, your installation is incomplete. Install the poppler-data package if you want to have the Adobe-Japan1 mapping available.
