Can you try install the package "poppler-data" and try to open the test pdf with evince again?

Thank you for your kind attention to these sqare character problems.

Both of you are supposed to be interesting in the behaviors of chinese fonts with poppler-data installed, so we digest a short report from an earlier post https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/659280/comments/13 and show it here for your reference:

The original test report was finished by xenomorph0525 and posted at http://www.ubuntu-tw.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=162666#forumpost162666:

Note: the original url is something like http://imgxyz.imageshack.us/img573/7048/xpdf302poppler.png
I change "imgxyz" to "a" so that you may browse them easily.

A short conclusion with poller-data:
There are still sqare characters shown in the documents or Mojibake in the path name.

Wish this disturbing problem will be solved ASAP.
Best Regards
