[darkautism]

I use chinese fonts in my project.
When i using server version, it work perfectly.
But when i using client version, it always alert me "No unicode cmap for font".
This is font i used :

This is vfs_fonts.js i builed :
https://mega.co.nz/#!DN9DmSYD!Nd10rPBBfTZ9OFpw7MEQm5A_wrqcQhpECH0z3RLHy-k
This is code i used :

        var fontDescriptors = { 
            times: {
                normal: 'times.ttf',
                bold: 'timesbd.ttf',
                italics: 'timesi.ttf',
                bolditalics: 'timesbi.ttf'
            } , 
            wqy: {
                normal: 'wqy.ttf',
                bold: 'wqy.ttf',
                italics: 'wqy.ttf',
                bolditalics: 'wqy.ttf'
            }

        };
        pdfMake.fonts = fontDescriptors;
        var docDefinition = { content: 'wqy中文wqy',
        defaultStyle: {
            font: 'wqy'
        }};

               pdfMake.createPdf(docDefinition).open('test.pdf');

Your font needs to have a Unicode CMAP - can you verify that is has one?

See foliojs/pdfkit#121 (comment)

If this font do not have a Unicode CMAP, why can this run in server mode perfectly?

[jthoenes]

I don't know your setup, so I cannot answer the question.

Assuming the CMap is present in the vfs_fonts, there might be space issue inside your browsers. Have you checked (with Chrome debugger) if it gets loaded correctly?

This is server version:

It work correctly.

Because this font work correctly so i assume this font have a Unicode CMAP, but it cannot work on client version.

This is client version:

Your font (one of the two) does not have a unicode cmap when it gets loaded by pdfkit - the underlying pdf engine of pdfmake.

I cannot tell why this is the case - and I don't have time to look deeper into it myself at the moment.

If you want to investigate yourself, try to use the Chrome debugger to see, what is going wrong. This might or might not be a pdfkit bug, rather than a pdfmake bug.

I believe I'm running into the same problem. I'm using the Google Noto CJK font (https://www.google.com/get/noto/#/) and I'm seeing the same error.
