Hi Dan, In Debian bug#153546 (http://bugs.debian.org/153546 ) you reported that xpdf 1.00 could not show filenames with Chinese characters correctly in its "open" dialog. Could you please check to see if this is still the case with Xpdf 2.02 or 2.03. Thanks Hamish
Problem still there with names like $ ls|head -2|qp-encode 921 =BE=5F=A8a=A4E=A4E=AEp=B1Y=B6=F2=A6a=B4=D3=A5=CD=B4=5F=A8|=BA=CA=B4= =FA=BBP=B5=FB=A6=F4.pdf GIS =B9=EF=BA=F4=AE=E6=B8=EA=AE=C6=A4=A7=B3B=B2z=A4=CE=AB=E1=B3B=B2z=A5= \=AF=E0=A4=A7=B1=B4=B0Q.pdf $ apt-cache policy xpdf xpdf: Installed: 2.02pl1-1 By the way, Error: Failed to open font: '-*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-6-*-*-*-*-*-big5-0' Error: Couldn't find a font for the 'Adobe-CNS1' character collection and the characters overlap, unless one steps up the magnification, for one file I checked.
Thanks. Could you test with the latest version though ie 2.03-1? Can you send me that PDF file or one with a Chinese name so I have something to test with? OK I will look into that. Thanks Hamish
