Bug ID: 336243
Summary: Japanese text (hiragana, katakana, and kanji) is
sometimes not displayed
Classification: Unclassified
Product: okular
Version: 0.19.1
Platform: Archlinux Packages
URL: http://imgur.com/a/pdqC5#0
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: PDF backend
Assignee: okular-devel@kde.org
Reporter: shvel...@gmail.com
There is a particular PDF which fails to display Japanese glyphs (hiragana,
katakana, and kanji), but only on Okular (see Additional Information and Steps
to Reproduce). Copying a line of text and pasting into another program will not
copy the Japanese glyphs, indicating that it is more than just a failure to
render.
The PDF displays properly in every other PDF viewer I tested with, leading me
to conclude that it is a (rare) bug in Okular and not a bug in the PDF itself.
I have included an imgur album of screenshots with descriptions.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the PDF from this page:
http://grammar.nihongoresources.com/doku.php#download_the_book_as_free_pdf
2. Open in Okular
3. Go to any page with Japanese text (Section 1.1.3 on page 6 is a good
example)
Actual Results:
The English text is displayed, while Japanese text is not. There are obvious
gaps in the lines where the Japanese text would be if it were rendered.
Expected Results:
I would expect the Japanese text to be rendered.
I have opened many Japanese-language PDFs in Okular, and this is the only one
to have given me problems. The PDF also renders properly in other viewers. So
far, I have tested the following (all on the same PC):
* Okular
* Firefox's built-in PDF viewer
* Master PDF Editor
* Adobe Reader 9
