Install poppler-data for CJK languages

bug #616321 is a request to use an evince depends, not sure that should be assigned to this team though since language-selector is mostly community maintained now

That would pull it into the CDs, though. It's not really required for
non-CJK languages, so I hoped to avoid that and instead install it on
demand.

It's not just required for CJK documents. I have come across other bug reports with incomplete/incorrect text rendering which were fixed by installing poppler data. I can't find any of them at the moment, presumably because they are marked Fix Released.

I probably closed some of them myself. How can I view bugs which I am subscribed to but have marked Fix Released?

Click on your user name at the upper right of any Launchpad page, then click "Bugs" at the top of the page. After that click "Advanced Search" near the search input field. Then mark all bug states and execute the search. Entering a search term is not required.

Thanks.

See bug #532282 and bug #546456 . bug #502084 contains the output of pdffonts for this document before and after installing poppler-data.

Also see bug #458288 - I guess technically they are CJK fonts, but they don't _look_ like they are. Doesn't this mean that an approach based on the system language wouldn't always work?

I think there were some more, but I haven't found them yet.

This bug was fixed in the package language-selector - 0.27

Dear all,
Looks like the fix is not working for me : on Ubuntu 11.04, updated, French system, I fully installed Japanese via language-selector, restarted the pc and restarted language-selector to finish installing language packages, and still poppler-data is not installed. (so I can't read some Japanese PDF)
