How to export PDF with chinese fonts

[tbs575]

I using asciidocFX v1.7.3 on windows 7, can not export PDF with chinese character. chinese character became #### in PDF.

Hi, probably to setup correct fonts for chinese characters. You can see font selections in https://github.com/asciidocfx/AsciidocFX/blob/master/conf/docbook-config/fo-pdf.xsl . You may need to change your local fo-pdf.xsl.

@rahmanusta Hi, as URL add chinese fonts, export PDF OK, but met new issue. Level 3 Section Title chinese can not export correctly. see pic.

modified fo-pdf.xsl

<xsl:template name="pickfont-sans">
    <xsl:text>SimHei,Sans-serif,Arial,Arial Unicode MS,Helvetica,serif,Georgia,Times New Roman</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="pickfont-serif">
    <xsl:text>SimHei,Sans-serif,Arial,Arial Unicode MS,Helvetica,serif,Georgia,Times New Roman</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="pickfont-mono">
    <xsl:text>SimHei,Liberation Mono,Lucida Console,Monaco,Consolas,Courier New,Courier,monospace,Arial Unicode MS,Lucida Sans Unicode</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="pickfont-dingbat">
    <xsl:call-template name="pickfont-sans"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="pickfont-symbol">
    <xsl:text>SimHei,Symbol,ZapfDingbats</xsl:text>
