Description

I can't find a way to use Japanese font with jsPDF.

I've created the font with the fontconverter using Noto Sans JP from Google Font, I've imported it but I can't use any Glyphs that I find on the Google Font page here: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Noto+Sans+JP#glyphs

I can see that the font is imported because it changes if I remove the font script.

Here is a CodeSandbox that reproduces the error: https://codesandbox.io/s/busy-joliot-jwjy8?file=/main.js

I also tried with others fonts, without any better results.

I am using jsPDF in a web application with users from all around the world and I am gettings requests from Japanese to handle it. Any help would be very appreciated!

Thanks

Research direction
Investigate how jsPDF loads and uses custom fonts, focusing on CJK font support. Check the fontconverter output and ensure the font's glyphs are embedded correctly for Japanese characters.
