I had a problem to display/print Japanese fonts in a pdf file in my Ubuntu 10.04 distro. Evince did not display nor print the Japanese fonts. Adobe Reader displayed correctly however it did not print the Japanese fonts.
Installing the package poppler-data fixed those problems. It is available in Ubuntu package manager.
Prior of installing the package poppler-data, I realized that Foxit PDF reader was already rendering the Japanese fonts very well. Therefore I also recommend installing Foxit PDF Reader.
Foxit Reader for Linux:
