            Description

            The PDF file provided used Korean fonts. These fonts are being rendered as empty boxes and not the correct font. I see the following in the logs in regards to font substitutions:

              The PDF in question does not have the needed embedded font and as a result we need to find the correct font somewhere on the system. This is especially important for Asian fonts.

              I've made a small tweak to the FontManger with the addition of a few more common Korean font name. Also I installed the Korean language pack on my computer as well as the GulimChe.ttf off the internet.

              The GulimChe.ttf I download was picked up by the font properties manager and cached. But the name was saved as unicode. I had to go back in and rename it to gulimche. Once done the PDF in question loaded using the correct Glyphs.

              Marking as fixed. A little work will be need by the client to insure the correct font is installed on the system in question. The addition Korean font names will be part of ICEpdf 6.0 release.
