I help translate it into English and post it here.

Ubuntu is easy to use.
Ubuntu does everything you need it to.
[url=http://
We can supply better defaults for per-language font settings, so that the majority of users don't need to have it.
It is absolutely the main reason why we choose ubuntu, as traditional-chinese
locale, [url=https:/
In fact ubuntu make the best achievement in localization. But there are still
many things to do to advance towards these respectable goals. One of them is the Font-selector tool 69-language-
When install the ubuntu, users choose 『traditional-
window in front of him, that means the user has chosen to display the message
on the monitor with the locale default zh_TW. In turns he will automatically accept 69-language-
It is a great design ! But there are still somethings to be improved to chieve
the great goal: easy to use and per-language font settings.
Yeah, 69-language-
.......
One of our posters, said in his post:
[url=http://
He has just finished the installation of ubuntu 10.10 server edition with
traditional chinese under text mode.
I find the reason why it shows square ?
It only installs DejaVu font, by default, in the /usr/share/
So it must show square when it is intent to display chinese character.
This has bothered him much !
He must learn something else to read the square, not in the status “don't need to have it” as described above.
If you put 69-language-
google searching engine, there are ten thousands of outputs.
Most of these pages try to teach ubuntu users, who choose traditional chinese
as there default locale, to edit there 69-language-
This is far from the appeal : Ubuntu does everything you need it to and
better defaults for per-language font settings.
We know minority of users have the needs to use English fonts, like DejaVu and Bitstream Vera Sans, as their default font selection. Most of them are experters. They may choose English, i.e. en_US, as their default locale, etc.. Most of them belongs to mightier user groups. There are also many another arrangements to satisfy them.
Thanks to Mr. [url=https:/
just move the Chinese typefaces to a higher priority. This is more reasonable since typeface priority should match the locale.
Just like the example described above, there is not any chinese font installed
by default at all ! One must learn how to install extra chinese fonts and how to edit the 69-language-
and any font available for him and where is the font located to be downloaded...
Not "nothing to do" before he can see chinese font !
Thanks to Mr. Aron Xu for so many advices,
We note that all xpdf, poppler, popper-data, evince, okular, nautilus preview are designed specially for reading pdf document. But there are still many square
problems in the system itself and in the applications for other usage except pdf.
Mr. Aron Xu maybe have some misunderstanding, We doubt from his post, that we propose to remove the whole file 69-language-
No ! We just attempt to suggest to remove, just as said in the original post in this bug report, those string including Bitstream Vera、DejaVu from 69-language-
1.The following report described how tetravex, which is not related to pdf,
appearred square chinese fonts uder zh_TW locale with 69-language-
1-1.with default setting:
The chinese characters appeared square.
http://
1-2.with poller-data installed:
The chinese characters appeared square.
http://
1-3.with poller-data installed but 69-language-
The chinese characters appeared normal.
http://
1-4. without poller-data installed and 69-language-
The chinese characters appeared normal.
http://
Conclusion:
It displayed normal chinese fonts only when Bitstream Vera、DejaVu strings was removed from 69-language-
.......
2.Another report related to the different behavior of evince detached
in the same page:
2-1.with default setting:
most of the characters appeared blank, only a few characters shown normal.

3-3.with poller-data installed but 69-language-
http://
3-4.without poller-data installed and 69-language-
http://

Although xpdf with xpdf-chinese-
.......
We have also noted that :
it shows chinese characters with WenQuanYi Zen Hei fonts while English and Didital number characters with DejaVu Sans in the third case: 69-language-
This is another acceptable option, better than sqare.
The above test is finished under ubuntu 9.10 with the original pdf file: http://
You are welcomed to visit the detailed information in the following pages.

.......
We will support to improve poppler and poppler-data besides
removal of those string including Bitstream Vera、DejaVu from 69-language-
Let us go towards the goal“Ubuntu does everything you need it to for majority of users by per-language font settings” together soon !
