evince failes to display and print Japanese pdf file (created with platex and dvipdfmx)...

[Dietrich Bollmann <diresu web de>]

Hi,

I try to preview and print a Japanese pdf document (created with platex 
and dvipdfmx) with evince - but can't get it work. I can preview the 
document correctly with xpdf and kpdf so there shouldn't be anything 
wrong with it. (Both - xpdf and kpdf - also fail when I try to print the 
document.)

Here a protocol of what I am doing:


$ cat neko.tex
\documentclass[a4paper]{jarticle}
\usepackage{color}
\begin{document}

\title{\LaTeX 吾輩は猫である。}
\author{名前はまだ無い。}
\maketitle

\section{猫}

吾輩は{\color{red}猫}である。

wagahai wa neko de aru.

\end{document}


$ platex neko.tex

# A document with some Japanese characters is displayed, but all the 
characters are wrong...

# when trying to print the document the following is printed to 
stdout/stderr:

Model not found, discarding config

(evince:11085): GnomePrint-WARNING **: Could not create filter from 
description 'frgba': filter 'frgba' is unknown

# The printer queue shows the following line:

What can I do?

Thanks, Dietrich
