I have to eat my words and withdraw the comment above. After re-reading Pedro Villavicencio comments above, I re-checked what was installed and compared the 7.04 and 8.04 systems, and discovered poppler-data was not on the 8.04 system. So I installed it, and as if by miracle, Chinese appeared.
I should note that there was no poppler-data on the 7.04 system - and the Chinese worked. I should also note that how a humble user would know he/she must install poppler-data to read Chinese remains unresolved. Lucky there is launchpad to find this stuff out! -- Evince couldnot display chinese pdf files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209145 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
