Re: [evince] evince does not show chinese bold or italic

[Thomas Johnsson <thomas skri net>]

Acrobat Reader, and also Firefox built-in pdf reader, displays it 
correctly, so no fontembedding should be needed.
I was under the impression that for the CJK fonts, bold (and italic) was 
synthesized from the normal font,
and that Evince (or Poppler really, I guess) fails to do so. Or maybe 
that the dash in STSong-Light is mistaken for the "bold separator" etc.
