acroread-asianfonts has only version 5 in portage. It is masked due to a security advisory. Now the latest version of acroread is app-text/acroread-7.0.1.1, but the corresponding acroread-asianfonts is missing from portage. please add the ebuild to portage Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
adobe will only provide the package for the windows platform
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/7x/7.0/misc/ still has chsfont.tar.gz, chtfont.tar.gz, jpnfont.tar.gz and korfont.tar.gz. the old ebuild for asianfonts 7.x should still work. This should be reopened. (I cannot do so.)
As the comment above mentions, since the fonts exist, the ebuild can be fixed. I reopen the bug.
Even if these fonts are installed, acroread cannot show cjk symbols without embedded fonts. Please emerge acroread with environment variable LINGUAS. ex. LINGUAS="ja" emerge acroread.
Done. Now the whole acrobat reader is in japanese. Can't it be configured so the reader's menus are in one language, but the documents can be in another?
I did the following to get japanese fonts working with the spanish acroread. LINGUAS="es" emerge acroread wget ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/7x/7.0/misc/jpnfont.tar.gz tar -zxvf jpnfont.tar.gz cd JPNKIT/ sh INSTALL and then gave /opt/Acrobat7/ as the installation place for acrobat. I tested it with the document http://www.infor.kanazawa-it.ac.jp/~satlab/cg/cg_cloth/NICOGRAPH2005.pdf which shows a blank page on page 2 if the fonts are not installed; the document shows correctly after the steps above. Please add the emerge with the above instructions as media-fonts/acroread-asianfonts 7 and unmask. I consider this bug fixed as soon as the emerge appears. Thank you all for your comments
Another test example with japanese characters which can be seen with my procedure (i.e., no embedded fonts) http://www.sanface.com/pdf/japanese.pdf
Should I create the ebuild myself? I have never done an ebuild, but I can try.
Created attachment 71621 [details] ebuild for acroread-asianfonts-7.0.1, not working as expected I changed the base url to point to the correct sources in acrobat 7, but since the mirror has the old version it downloads the 5.x version instead of the correct one. I don't know what I should change so that the correct fonts are downloaded.
Created attachment 71641 [details] acroread-asianfonts-7.0.20050728.ebuild
Tested and working acroread-asianfonts-7.0.20050728.ebuild Please mark as stable.
Is there anything else I should do? (like changing resulution)
