Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

when I write a text in Chinese and use the default style sheet, my text
comes out as all black rectangles. I have to create a style sheet
specifically mentioning the Chinese fonts in order to get a PDF that
actually shows the Chinese characters.

This is not straightforward and has the following drawbacks:

 * There are no obvious font variants for "bold" etc. Using eg LO, I can
   make text bold etc., but it's far from obvious how to do that in the
   style sheet.

 * Since my approach involves re-defining the standard fonts, it should
   be difficult to write text with mixed languages - I can re-define the
   standard font only once, right?

 * I would also prefer to not have to deal with the font names to begin
   with. Writing such a style sheet sort of defeats half the purpose of
   not using a standard word processor, imho.

I therefore ask that this area, and probably a default style sheet for
CJK or other non-European languages that causes similar effect like the
standard stylesheet does for English, be shipped by default.


Kind regards,
--Toni++
