Converted PDF does not display Chinese characters #2

When the metrics are converted from LaTeX to PDF, the Chinese characters do not get displayed.

This can likely be solved by using the right package and font in the LaTeX source file.

As expected the Chinese characters get recognized once we include the correct package. Depending on the PDF engine used (XeLaTeX):

\usepackage{xeCJK}

The Chinese fonts can be set by:

\setCJKmainfont{}
\setCJKmonofont{}
\setCJKsansfont{}

Further, the list of Chinese fonts available on the system can be checked using the command: fc-list :lang=zh

The characters now display correctly : yash-gsoc-dev/POCs/POC-chinese
