Re: PDF files with Japanese fonts.. How to view?

[Naoki <naoki valuecommerce com>]

Loading from the command line shows this :

For XPDF - 
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'
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'
Error: Couldn't create a font for 'MS-PMincho'

For Evince - 
Error: could not create truetype face

some font thing failed
Error: could not create truetype face

some font thing failed


Which makes "some font thing failed" my new favourite error message of
all time :)
