The acroread package on SuSE 9.0 doesn't display CJK .pdf documents
(unless all CJK fonts are already embedded).
One method to fix this is to download the CJK font packages for
acroread from Adobe, see:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/acrrasianfontpack.html
But even then, Japanese .pdf documents using both
"Ryumin-Light" and "GothicBBB-Medium" like for example
http://www.nec.co.jp/canna/docs/cannadoc.pdf
still won't display correctly as the Adobe font package only contains
a Mincho style font and no Gothic font.
But we have some packages with free CID-keyed fonts on SuSE Linux 9.0
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.0/suse/noarch/CID-keyed-fonts-Munhwa-20021114-105.noarch.rpm
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.0/suse/noarch/CID-keyed-fonts-Wada-20021114-105.noarch.rpm
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.0/suse/src/CID-keyed-fonts-MOE-20021114-105.src.rpm
which can be used by Acroread with a little bit of setup.
I just added a small script to the ghostscript-cjk package which is
run automatically by
"SuSEconfig --module ghostscript-cjk"
and does this setup automatically if the above CID-keyed font packages
are installed.
The improved ghostscript-cjk are here:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/9.0/noarch/ghostscript-cjk-20021119-185.noarch.rpm
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/9.0/src/ghostscript-cjk-20021119-185.src.rpm
Note that it still doesn't work for simplified Chinese as there is
now free CID-keyed font package for simplified Chinese.
But you can still install the Adobe Asian font packages in addition to
my small hack above.
