[Bug 659280] Re: Chinese characters in PDFs without embedded fonts are shown as squares

[An Yang]

Hi everybody,

When meet any fonts related problem, you should locate which font are lost?
Here is the fonts info of 081526.pdf, see attachment.

It uses sans/serif/bold and other fonts, so if you want to display the
characters, let the fontconfig use the right fonts at first.

To check it, you can use the following commands: 
fc-match san
fc-match serif
fc-match tahoma
