             Bug #: 49035
           Summary: Problems with recognizing Chinese fonts when running
                    PDF export in headless mode
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.5.1 Release
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: PDF export

It seems like the headless mode does not know how to properly auto-substitute
fonts. If you create a docx document with Chinese characters and use a font
like Arial Unicode MS (a font that does not exist on my Linux system). Headless
mode will churn out a PDF with square blocks.

But, if I open the document in GUI mode, the program knows how to substitute
the unknown font for something that exist in my system.
