Bug Description

poppler-data is installed, and the file in general renders ok with the japanese.

Only the fields to be filled out - allow to input japanese, but then render into weird boxes.
evince maintains there is a not embedded 'ZapfDingbats' font in the file, and instead choses Dingbats.

this is evince 3.10.3 on an Ubuntu 14.04

I expected: to have the fields render as japanese text
Instead: When jumping out of the field, the text turns into strange boxes

Here is an example file, though taiwanese, a similar thing happens
