Hi, Dimitrious.

I was getting many, many messages in stderr, but one of them (which
was quite, quite burried) led me to the solution:
Error: Missing language pack for 'Adobe-Japan1' mapping
Installing poppler-data (which is *non-free*) helped evince render the
file. (You yourself was bitten by this with LP: #269243)
As the maintainer of vrms (in Debian), I always try to keep my systems
rid of non-free packages.
This brings up the question if xpdf is not supplying those parts
embedded, as it is able to render the document mentioned above without
any problems OR if it is not using anything like that, if
evince/poppler couldn't use the same strategy as xpdf.
Perhaps this bug should be reassigned? I don't know how strict Ubuntu
is with non-free parts, since I come from a Debian background (and we
are strict).
Regards, Rogério Brito.
