Install Adobe Reader's Language Pack on Linux
Default Acrobat Reader doesn't seem to contain Asian language fonts. Acrobat Reader (acroreader) kindly indicates so when I try to open a pdf file that contains such a language (in my case most commonly Japanese). However, its pop-up window shows wrong URL for obtaining lang pack. Here is the correct steps that worked for me:
Update 5/27/2013) After uninstalling and re-installing `acroread` for a reason that's irrelevant to fonts, the above steps need to be done. In particular, the following `acroread`-related pkgs have to be installed:
* acroread-common (seems that this needs to be installed first before following)
* acroread-bin:i386
* acroread

- Step-1. Open http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Unix
- Step-2. Choose the one that fits your environment the most. I chose "Adobe Reader 9.1 Font Packs - Japanese", with a slight suspect that this might not work since acroreader installed on my Ubuntu is version 9.4.7, which seemed a little newer.
- Step-3. Run (with admin privilege) the file that is contained in the downloaded file. Where you put the file might not matter as long as you specify the right folder where acroreader is installed (most likely "/opt").
