Hmm. 2 days since the original post. That doesn't bode well.<br><br>I going out on a limb here but Fedora includes the kanji character set which is 2-byte. I'm sure other distros have it as well. Maybe if that were installed along with the fonts it will become visible.<br>
<br>Can you take the pdf and do a pdf2ps | lpr (assuming a postscript capable printer)? That still may not work as needing to translate 2-byte to 1-byte characters will require knowledge of the original character set.<br>

I would love to borry a clue from somebody here. I have a<br>
PDF file from a Japanese firm, allegedly already translated<br>
into English. Well, actually, my brother confirms that it<br>
_is_ in English, but uses a double byte character set for<br>
the English characters, which will not display properly on<br>
my Linux setup. Anybody know off hand how to get a Linux<br>
setup, particularly Gnome, to display and/or print such a<br>
beast?<br>
