The error reported by Adobe Reader suggests that the Simsun font is not registered with Adobe Reader. I believe it is not sufficient for the font to just be installed in the Operating System. I think the fonts also need to be registered with Adobe. Which makes the use case of referencing fonts instead of embedding somewhat worthless.

Re: Chinese PDFs and non embedded fonts
Hi, Unless you know this specific font is embeddable (which I don't), that's not ubiquitously true. There is a flag in the font program which indicates whether it is embeddable or not [1].

Re: Chinese PDFs and non embedded fonts
ok, on digging into this further i have found:
(1) luis is correct that embedding is performed by default without the
referenced-fonts element;
(2) in particular, when i add referenced-fontsmatch
font-family=SimSun//referenced-fonts i see the same behavior: glyphs
not found; when i remove, it works fine (and embeds subset);
(3) looking at TTFFontLoader i find the following:
boolean isCid = this.embedded;
if (this.encodingMode == EncodingMode.SINGLE_BYTE) {
isCid = false;
}
if (isCid) {
multiFont = new MultiByteFont();
returnFont = multiFont;
multiFont.setTTCName(ttcFontName);
} else {
singleFont = new SingleByteFont();
returnFont = singleFont;
}
This code assumes that *all* non-embedded fonts are single byte fonts, so
takes the else clause, constructing a SingleByteFont.
Clearly this code is bogus and needs to use other means to determine if the
font is CID keyed or not. In this case, it is CID keyed, and works fine
when embedded is true.
I will open a bug on this.

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for your reply.
In your example, you are embedding the font:
font embed-url=simsun.ttf the embed-url attribute will get the
font embedded.
I have no problem creating a chinese PDF when the font is embedded.
The issue I am raising is when trying to reference (not embed) the font.
Thanks for your help,
Best regards,
JP

ok, on digging into this further i have found:
(1) luis is correct that embedding is performed by default without the
referenced-fonts element;
(2) in particular, when i add referenced-fontsmatch
font-family=SimSun//referenced-fonts i see the same behavior: glyphs
not found; when i remove, it works fine (and embeds subset);
(3) looking at TTFFontLoader i find the following:
boolean isCid = this.embedded;
if (this.encodingMode == EncodingMode.SINGLE_BYTE) {
isCid = false;
}
if (isCid) {
multiFont = new MultiByteFont();
returnFont = multiFont;
multiFont.setTTCName(ttcFontName);
} else {
singleFont = new SingleByteFont();
returnFont = singleFont;
}
This code assumes that *all* non-embedded fonts are single byte fonts, so
takes the else clause, constructing a SingleByteFont.
Clearly this code is bogus and needs to use other means to determine if
the font is CID keyed or not. In this case, it is CID keyed, and works fine
when embedded is true.
I will open a bug on this.
Thanks Jean-Philippe for your persistence!
