Description Jiang Yike 2011-03-06 00:01:56 CET

Description of problem:

Defaultly the installation of Okular and Evince don't install poppler-data, so Okular and Evince can't show the texts of many Chinese/Japanese/Korean PDF files. Though we can solve the problem through installing poppler-data, but many users may not know the solution. If poppler-data is a dependency of Okular and Evince, it will be very convenient for users especially Chinese/Japanese/Korean users.

Reproducible:

OK, I have uploaded a PDF file with Chinese text. You can test it.

poppler-data is already suggested by lib*poppler12, it shouldn't be a requires as they're optional (and not all users have/use CJK PDFs).

However the poppler-data package should be on the installation ISO, otherwise it won't be installed by default.

Maybe it's a good idea that in Chinese/Japanese/Korean locale poppler-data is defaultly installed with Okular or Evince.

Mandriva Linux Free 2010.2 does so, out-of-the-box. So I believe that Mageia will do better. :)

It's not installed with the locale, just the fact that poppler-data is on the ISO means it'll be installed by default.

Comment 10 Thierry Vignaud 2011-03-07 14:00:46 CET

Humm maybe could we alter meta-task's rpmsrate so that we install  poppler-data for ch/ja/ko anyway...

Just committed in meta-task can you check ?

Comment 12 Thierry Vignaud 2011-03-07 14:47:16 CET

Looks good.
You can run check-rpmsrate in order to validate.

Comment 13 Anne Nicolas 2011-03-08 08:45:33 CET

Checked and updated in new release of meta-task

Comment 14 Jiang Yike 2011-03-08 11:20:09 CET
