PDF Chinese title looks like #####

[LiuAoran]

Expected Behavior

I need to create a Chinese document using Markdown and DITA, and style it according to the \dita-ot-4.1.1\docsrc\samples\themes\dita-ot-docs_A4.yaml.

Actual Behavior

All Chinese titles are displayed as "####" regardless of their level, whether they are first-level or second-level titles.

Possible Solution

I have tried not using a theme, and the Chinese titles display correctly. Therefore, I suspect there might be an issue with the Chinese styles within the theme.

Steps to Reproduce

1. I created two DITA Markdown files and authored a map.
2. I used the command dita -i .\git_map.dita -f pdf --theme dita-ot-docs-A4.yaml to convert the documents to PDF.

Copy of the error message, log file, or stack trace

none

Environment

Environment:jdk17

• DITA-OT version:
• Operating system and version: Windows11
• How did you run DITA-OT? dita command

• Transformation type: PDF

  I am a beginner in DITA-OT, please help me. Thank you.

What happens if you explicitly set font-family for headers? Add the following to dita-ot-docs_A4.yaml

style:
  h1:
    font-family: $pdf2-font-sans
  h2:
    font-family: $pdf2-font-sans
  h3:
    font-family: $pdf2-font-sans

Can you attach the Markdown source, not as an image, but as a file?

hello, Are you still following up on this issue?

I solved it by install and set a Chinese-supported font.
