104 The additional package consists of encoding files for use with
105 <application>Poppler</application>. The encoding files are optional and
106 <application>Poppler</application> will automatically read them if they
107 are present. When installed, they enable
108 <application>Poppler</application> to render CJK and Cyrillic properly.

155 If you are not building both <application>Qt</application> libraries,
156 jump to the following paragraph. In order to build both
157 <application>Qt4</application> and <application>Qt5</application>
158 libraries, you need to run the install commands twice, because although
159 both are detected, only wrapper for the first
160 <application>Qt</application> version in PATH is built. Either can be
161 built first, but to facilitate the explanation, we choose first the
162 <application>Qt4</application> library. You can do this using
163 <command>source setqt4</command> (script from <xref linkend="qt4"/>).
