Settings

CJK Font Defaults

This section determines the default fonts to use when rendering unembedded CJK fonts

Type -  Lists each of the CJK font types used in PDF documents.

System Font - The font that is currently being used for the selected CJK font types. To edit, select the CJK font type and then choose the font from the system to be used when the font is not embedded. For each type of CJK font (Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc...), users can select what local font to use among all the fonts installed on their system. If no CJK fonts are available within the system font combo box, you will need to find and install new CJK fonts on your system. It is usually possible to install new fonts in ttf or ttc format. By default PDF Studio Viewer will have the below settings.

Default CJK Font Substitution Settings

When rendering a PDF document where CJK fonts are NOT embedded, PDF Studio will try and find CJK fonts on the system .  We have examined recent versions of Windows, OSX and Linux to understand which CJK fonts are provided with the operating system.

From this information we have developed prioritized font lists for each OS.  PDF Studio Viewer  will look for the fonts and will select the first one that is found as the default substitute font for that CJK category.
