Description craig 2012-08-20 00:15:39 UTC
The 'Student's Name' field doesn't work correctly.  For example if I enter 'Test' in the field it is displayed as '5FTU'.

Using evince 3.4.0 and poppler/cairo (0.18.4) in Fedora 17.
Comment 2 Felix Möller 2012-08-24 10:25:41 UTC
I can confirm this with

poppler 0.20.3-2ubuntu1
evince 3.5.90-0ubuntu2
Comment 3 Germán Poo-Caamaño 2013-02-18 02:31:35 UTC
I get the following output in a console after I press 'Enter' in the field:

Syntax Error: Unknown font tag 'KozMinPr6N-Regular'
Syntax Error: Unknown font in field's DA string
Syntax Error: Missing language pack for 'Adobe-Japan1' mapping
Syntax Error: Missing language pack for 'Adobe-Japan1' mapping

The text is not displayed, but it is there because it is shown if I go to the field again.

FWIW, Acrobat Reader 9 says:

"The Japanese Language Support Package is required to display this page properly.  Under the current configuration, this resources is not available. You can download it from http://www.adobe.com/go/acroasianfontpack".

However, after the message I can enter ascii characters and they are shown.  So, Evince should at least be able to do that.

Anyhow, this seems to be a problem in poppler.

After installing poppler-data, I do not get this message anymore.  The text is not displayed.

I noticed this is the same as Bug 655587.  Entering "Welinder" in any text field produces "8FMJ0EFS".
