Bug 2984

From GNOME:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166665

[copied text from bug]

ggv can read ps files in Chinese 
and acroread can read pdf files after installing an extra language package. 
When I use evince, it gives the error
"Error (59677): No font in show/space
Error: Unknown font tag 'TT2'
Error: Unknown font tag 'TT2'
Error: Unknown font tag 'TT2'
Error: Unknown font tag 'TT2'
Error: Unknown font tag 'TT2'
Error: Unknown font tag 'TT2'
Error: Unknown character collection 'Adobe-GB1'
Error: Unknown font tag 'TT2'
Error (62614): No font in show/space
Error: Unknown font tag 'TT2'
", 

I also try evince, ggv and acroread with other  ps/pdf files, and find
for some files, it can display clearly.

My platform is FC3, gnome 2.10 beta 1

Description of problem:
evince cannot display most of my pdf files correct. The files are loaded ok but
the chinese characters turn out to be random meaningless symbols. Running in
terminal, I can see a lot of error output such as
=====
Error: Unknown character collection 'Adobe-GB1'
Error: Unknown character collection 'Adobe-GB1'
Error: Unknown font tag 'F5'
Error: Unknown font tag 'F5'
Error: Unknown font tag 'F5'
Error: Unknown font tag 'F8'
Error: Unknown font tag 'F3'
Error (205398): No font in show/space
Error: Unknown font tag 'F8'
Error (205407): No font in show/space
=====
and my system turned very slow when loading these files. These files are
produced by Acrobat Distiller 5.0 (Windows) and/or CTeX suite (Windows)

It can render some pdf files very well, which are produced using pdflatex in
tetex-latex-2.0.2 or dvipdfmx(20031207), the source file is in UTF-8. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evince-0.1.9-1.1.fc3.nr

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a terminal
2. run evince
3. load a file that contains chinese characters
  

Actual Results:  If the pdf file is created using adobe distiller under windows,
then there would be alot of Error output, no chinese characters can be seen, but
a lot of strange symbols. Since most of my pdf files are produced that way
(adobe distillers + windows) and the source files(ppt, doc, etc.) are lost(bad
luck!), I cannot reproduce them under OOo. 
Most of the times, acroread displays them well.

Expected Results:  nothing should happen in the terminal, and the page displays
correctly, like acroread (with CHSKIT, language pack of acroread installed) does.

Additional info:

My default locale is zh_CN.UTF-8
when I switch to zh_CN.GB2312, the problem remains the same, so does the output
on terminal.
