Thanks, Rogério for the helpful answer.

I was very surprised that installation of poppler-data solved my problem for
evince but not for xpdf, but after reading Michael's answers, it looks that
there is an explanation. I recommand to solve this before uploading xpdf to
main.

By the way, I really think that poppler-data shoud be installed by default on
computers configured for office work. We can not expect users to figure out
that they need this package to see CJK characters. I reported #584503 against
poppler to propose to have libpoppler recommend poppler-data.

Have a nice week-end,
