Description ZhanZongru 2010-04-15 03:06:26 UTC 
I tested evince current version (2.30.0) on both English(with East Asian language package installed) and Simple Chinese Windows XP (SP3). If a file path includes any Chinese/Japanese text(whether in the directory path or file name), evince just denies to open it. After I rename the file or move it to a path don't include CJKV text, the problem disappeares. I will test it as soon as I have access to the Linux system. And I will try to figure out, maybe I can contribute a patch :-). I am now reading the document.

Hi Zhan,

Do you have this problem with PDF documents? Then it is probably a bug in poppler. Some time ago I patched poppler to handle non-ascii characters in filenames, but it seems that patch is not handling CJKV characters correctly.

You can find the patch in poppler:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/commit/?id=526c8871cbdfbc119e013ee96887a79f65403790

That should give you a place to start!

I have also tested other file formats: tiff, djvu, ps , dvi. The problem persists. So I don't think it is a poppler bug. I am trying to fix it by myself. The mail address zhan.zr.ml@gmail.com is also me. I generally use that mail box for mail-list.

Hib Eris, thanks for your kind guide, I will look into your patch later.

Hib,
   Sorry,  I have tested again on my Windows XP Simple Chinese version machine, and the CJKV characters now can be handled correctly. Wired! I need more inspection.
