Ghostscript cannot find CMaps in Poppler

["Vonobow Smith" <smith at cygwin dot akamoz dot jp>]

 From Cygwin which is bundled with Ghostscript 9.21,
Ghostscript cannot find CMap's at all. As a result, CJK characters 
cannot be rendered at all.

This is caused by incorrect setting of search path for Ghostscript,
or the directory hierarchy of Poppler.

 GS search path is set as following:

$ gs --help
> GPL Ghostscript 9.22 (2017-10-04)
> Copyright (C) 2017 Artifex Software, Inc.  All rights reserved.
> Usage: gs [switches] [file1.ps file2.ps ...]
... snip ...
> Search path:
>    /usr/share/ghostscript/9.22/Resource/Init :
>    /usr/share/ghostscript/9.22/lib :
>    /usr/share/ghostscript/9.22/Resource/Font :
>    /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts : /usr/share/fonts/urw-base35 :
>    /usr/share/fonts : /usr/share/poppler/cMap/Adobe-CNS1 :
>    /usr/share/poppler/cMap/Adobe-GB1 :
>    /usr/share/poppler/cMap/Adobe-Japan1 :
>    /usr/share/poppler/cMap/Adobe-Japan2 :
>    /usr/share/poppler/cMap/Adobe-Korea1

However, CMap files are placed at:
> $ cd /usr/share/poppler/cMap/Adobe-Japan1/; ls
> 78-EUC-H                Adobe-Japan1-H-CID   UniHojo-UTF32-H
> 78-EUC-V                Adobe-Japan1-H-Host  UniHojo-UTF32-V
> 78-H                    Adobe-Japan1-H-Mac   UniHojo-UTF8-H
... snip ...

The problem is directory hierachy lacks the element "CMap".
CMap files must be found in CMap directory under the search path, like:

/usr/share/poppler/cMap/Adobe-Japan1/CMap/UniJIS-UTF8-H
                                     ^^^^
The old version of the Ghostscript held CMap's under:

/usr/share/ghostscript/ver.sion/Resources/CMap

and this is correct.

The easiest way to solve this problem is creating symbolic links
which name is "CMap" in each directories containing CMap files,
target of the links are the directories itself, like that:

cd /usr/share/poppler/cMap; for i in *; do (cd $i; ln -s . CMap); done

Sorry if it is alread reported. Best Regards.
