Cannot display PDF embedded Microsoft fonts (Chinese)

[Steven McCoy]

OpenOffice 2.2, OpenOffice 2.3, or PDF Creator on Microsoft Windows XP to create a PDF and send to a Ubuntu user. The Chinese characters are completely broken.

Ubuntu generated PDF documents are fine.

Ok, not all characters, but a large proportion of them.

For non-Ubuntu viewers to see the problem too.

Same problem on my Gusty, evince displays the "OO23 Windows.pdf" with broken characters.

However adobe reader 7.08 Simplified Chinese version displays this file correctly.

Thanks for your bug submission. I don't know how to read Chinese, but acroread 8 seems to render reporter's document in a cleaner fashion than evince 2.20.1 under gutsy. Subtle differences with some errors as noted by reporter.

Marking as Confirmed.

there is another similar bug related chinese character in evince. none of any chinese characters will be displayed.
I am afraid that I have to say that foxit reader for linux is the perfect solution for such situation.

xiang@xiang-laptop:/media/LIUX$ evince --version
GNOME Document Viewer 2.30.0

I am not sure whether or not to issue a new bug.
