In lenny `xpdf-japanese' (in non-free) should correctly show this PDF
file. In squeeze or later xpdf-{cjk}* packages are (perhaps) going to
be merged to `xpdf' package (Bug#577917); after the merge xpdf will
show it correctly.

Most of the files in cmap-adobe-* packages are also included in
`poppler-data' package, so a future merge might occur (but I don't
know how/when that will happen). Suggesting cmap-adobe-* packages e.g.
cmap-adobe-japan1 | cmap-adobe-cns1 | cmap-adobe-gb1 |
cmap-adobe-korea1 | cmap-adobe-japan2
(like `gs-cjk-resource' package which recommends them) may be
currently better, which should or should not be changed in the future.
