Comment 4 for bug 759882

Thanks for your effort to make Ubuntu better by reporting this issue and propose a solution.

Could you please let us know how the attached patch affects rendering of English and other Latin characters. Have the four of you discussed possible regression and, if you have, what's your views on pros and cons?

I know basically nothing about displaying of CJK characters, but I have noted that the equivalent issue for traditional Chinese is being discussed in considerable detail, e.g. in bug 713950 and bug 659280. Some argue well against the kind of workaround you suggest, meaning that it's poppler-data and buggy applications that ought to be fixed. I recommend that you review those discussions, unless you already have.

I'm not saying that this aspect of Japanese and traditional Chinese necessarily should be handled in the same way, but it's an adequate comparison, don't you think? https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-cjk-testers might be an appropriate forum for coordinating issues as the one in this bug report, but I don't know how well that team works.

Looking forward to further comments; setting the status "Incomplete" in the meantime.
