Bug#631996: texlive-binaries: \bf ignored for Japanese

[Ryo Furue <furue@hawaii.edu>]

Hi Kohda-san,

| On my system, it seems acroread display Japanese Gothic
| correctly.  Does your acroread have Japanese Gothic fonts?

Thank you for your help!!

I

1) extracted KozGoProVI-Medium.otf from an old Adobe-Reader
   distribution;

2) copied it into 

  /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Resource/CIDFont/

3) and removed ~/.adobe/

Then, acroread showed Gothic characters in my LaTeX-produced
PDF.  (I don't know whether step (3) was really necessary,
but before doing that acroread didn't show Gothic characters.)

| IIRC, Adobe forgets to provide Japanese Gothic fonts 
| for acroread (of Japanese version) since long time ago, 
| so I've copied Gothic font, KozGoProVI-Medium.otf, from 
| old system.

Who would've thought that the Adobe Reader doesn't have
a Gothic font?!?!  Do you know the reason?  Has this
issue been reported to Adobe?  Or is it deliberate?

I don't view Japanese PDF files often, and when I do, most
of them have Japanese fonts embedded (I guess), so I hadn't
realized the issue until your response.

Thank you again for your help with this issue,
which is NOT directly related to TeX!

Regards,
Ryo
