Description

At the bottom of p6 of the pdf version of the Julia v1.8.0 docs, there is a missing font problem resulting in the Chinese(?) characters being displayed as boxes, both in Acrobat and Edge.

It displays fine on the web page and if I copy the text and paste it anywhere in Windows (including the run dialog!), it displays in the appropriate font.

Perhaps the font should be embedded in the pdf?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the PDF generation process in Documenter.jl to identify why fonts are not embedded for certain characters, and consider embedding all fonts or using a subset that includes those characters.
