The tests suggested on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/659280/comments/47
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/659280/comments/48
by An Yang (euroford) are under scheduling and the results will be reported here as soon as possible.

There were also two test reports posted on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/659280/comments/13
related to poppler and popper-data.

The same reason as described on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/659280/comments/46, 
I have edited the links of pictures on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/659280/comments/13
so that they can be shown easily by all users.

Conclusion:
It displayed normal chinese fonts only when Bitstream Vera、DejaVu strings was removed from 69-language-selector-zh-TW.conf (despite poller-data was installed or not.)

.... Report 3........................

3. The 3rd report related to the different behavior of xpdf detached in the same page:
3-1. with 69-language-selector-zh-TW.conf as default:
http://a.imageshack.us/img89/854/xpdf302.png
3-2. with poller-data installed and with 69-language-selector-zh-TW.conf as default:
http://a.imageshack.us/img573/7048/xpdf302poppler.png
3-3. with poller-data installed but 69-language-selector-zh-TW.conf with Bitstream Vera、DejaVu string removed:
http://a.imageshack.us/img3/4677/xpdf302poppler69.png
3-4. without poller-data installed and 69-language-selector-zh-TW.conf with Bitstream Vera、DejaVu string also removed:
http://a.imageshack.us/img3/1472/xpdf30269.png

conclusion:
Although xpdf, with xpdf-chinese-traditional installed, shows the content in normal chinese fonts all the way, but it expresses the name of directories and files in abnormal chinese fonts in all cases.

We wish Mr. An Yang (euroford) may give us some hints or suggestions
about how to explain the test results.
