            Description

            A customer is having issues rendering Chinese fonts in their Ubuntu 10.4 environment. Here are details provided:

            We provided the solution:
            --------------------------------
            1. Copy "simsun.ttc" into "lib\fonts" inside "your_java_runtime_directory"
            2. Close program and start it again

            Note; IcePDF should be able to render the "missed glyphs"... Otherwise, they got conflict with other font - they use wrong font without required glyphs.
            --------------------------------


            Customer reported:
            The solution works fine on Suse, but not works on Ubuntu.
            Now customer is facing the Chinese characters are missing when print preview on Ubuntu.

            ***
            The provided workaround works on Windows/Mac OS X, but not on Ubuntu 10.04

              I tried to get other Chinese fonts to load on ubuntu and didn't have a lot of luck as the font metrics were off or they were not hinted correctly. However the the following procedure will get the PDF rendering correcting

              sudo cp ~/Downloads/simsum.ttc /usr/share/fonts/truetype/
              sudo chmod 555 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/simsum.ttc
              sudo rm ~./icesoft/icepdf-viewer/pdfviewerfontcache.properties
