Just for the record (the problem was now reported as fixed by Jeff):

a) Try using languagepacks
   See
    http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/swftools-common/2004-10/msg00049.html

b) If that doesn't help, rename some asian font containing the characters
   you use into "STSong-Light,Bold.ttf" and put that into /usr/local/share/xpdf.
