japanese characters in okular

Hi,
I want to be able to read japanese characters with okular. Right now okular doesn't show anything if i open a pdf with japanese text.
I tried to install some poppler packages to fix this but it doesn't work.. Do i have to do something more to get it to work or isn't okular capable to show japanese characters?

I dont even know if im supposed to install the poppler-packages but i read somewhere it should solve the problem
I have installed these packages

[adam@adam-pc ~]$ pacman -Qs poppler
local/poppler 0.10.5-1
    PDF rendering library based on xpdf 3.0
local/poppler-data 0.2.1-1
    Encoding data for the poppler PDF rendering library
local/poppler-glib 0.10.5-1
    Poppler glib bindings
local/poppler-qt 0.10.5-1
    Poppler Qt bindings

Re: japanese characters in okular

kanalj, any luck with this?  I just ran into this problem (it worked previously), and reinstalling the 4 poppler packages solved the problem.
