https://www.google.com/get/noto/ looks like a pretty complete alternative (a bit too complete, we would need to select a subset of those probably). On Wed, Mar 8, 2017 at 6:01 PM, Thomas Mortagne <[email protected]> wrote:
As indicated by the comment <auto-detect/> is here to load the system fonts which we are not supposed to need by default since we embed GNU FreeFont.
It's not all "non-English" characters since it works fine for many of them from what I see but I do reproduce the issue with Chinese characters.
And indeed according to https://www.gnu.org/software/freefont/FAQ.html, Freefont does not support Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters which is quite a limitation by default. I'm not a big fan of enabling back <auto-detect/> since it was taking a lot of memory when loading system fonts (causing https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13307) which where totally useless for most of them. Ideally we should replace freefont with a more complete font pack if anything like this exist in a compatible license.
In any case don't hesitate to create an issue on http://jira.xwiki.org about that.

Hi all,I'm using the xwiki v9.1.2 and I found that when exporting a page to PDF, the non-English characters will be replaced by "#".I spent a lot of time searching in jira.xwiki.org and found that there's similar issues like XWIKI-4724 and XWIKI-1609. However, non of the solutions work on me.Finally I found this commit log in github - https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/437f28bee5545670b2478c93498f2... and I manually create a fop-config.xml file in xwiki\WEB-INF\classes folder, with the "" not commented out. Then the problem solved.The question is that why in 2015 the dev team want to comment out the auto-detect propert and it seems that it results on the issue I mentioned above. Will it be fixed in next release?Regards,Bill
