[ale] Display/Print PDF which contains double byte (Japanese) Characters under Gnome

[Jim Kinney]

Hmm. 2 days since the original post. That doesn't bode well.

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.

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.
