DITA-OT rendering issues | Japanese text in an English PDF is shown as ####.

[DeekshaBhagat]

Hi All,

Use Case -
We have a ditamap and a topic as added below.
The ditamap and topic are in English language. We added some japanese language characters.

1. Render it using dita-ot pdf2 plugin in Wnidows.
   Rendering is successful, with output showing maptitle as - Map1_更新しました

2. Render the same using dita-ot pdf2 plugin in Linux
   Rendering is successful, with output showing maptitle as - Map1_######

Observation - The windows supports te japanese or multilingual support, but linux doesnot.
Question - How can we add support for linux too?
I am looking for solution from last one week.

The error message is clear. Helvetica does not have the glyphs to render the Japanese text. Provide a Japanese font, e.g. by using the Adobe Source Han fonts, and set the font-family attributes in your custom PDF plugin.

But, same plugin works in windows and gives errors in linux.
So, it this really a plugin issue or OS issue?

[DeekshaBhagat]

The issue is fixed.
I have downloade Google fonts "Noto Sans Japanese" and added to my plugin. It is working now.
