Qoppa software will look for the fonts and will select the first one that is found as the default substitute font for that CJK category. From this information, we have developed prioritized font lists for each environment. We have examined recent versions of Windows, OSX and Linux to understand which CJK fonts are provided with the operating system.

CJK Substitute Fonts Per Operating System This information is used to select a substitute font. In Qoppa PDF software, CJK substitute fonts are organized into 7 categories: CategoryĪ non-embedded PDF font provides enough information for Qoppa to determine which CJK category is desired for the text. When rendering a PDF document where CJK fonts are NOT embedded (see Referenced CJK fonts), Qoppa’s PDF rendering engine will try and find CJK fonts on the system and use these. This guarantees that the document will render the same regardless of the operating system. When a CJK font (or any other font type) is embedded within a PDF document, Qoppa’s PDF rendering engine will use this font to render the text in the document.
