evince doesn't display Chinese characters in some PDF files

For some but not all PDF files, evince doesn't display the Chinese characters in the body.  However, it seems that the Chinese characters in the footer section are displayed normally.

What is the cause of this problem and how can it be resovled?  Thanks.

Re: evince doesn't display Chinese characters in some PDF files

I had a look at the properties of one of the PDF files that evince fails to display the Chinese characters.  Two of the fonts, Futura-Medium and MyriadPro-Regular, have an encoding of MacRoman.  And, the Producer of the file was Mac OS X 10.5.8 Quartz PDFContext.

Also, this file is displayed without issue in my another installation of Debian (stretch).

I have installed Infinality on my Archlinux.
