[bug]: PDF export does not embed CJK fonts in the page. #8567
Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
Current behavior
PDF export does not embed CJK fonts.
On Linux / Chromium-based PDF rendering, Chinese characters are garbled.
Please add Noto Sans CJK (or equivalent) and ensure font embedding.
Steps to reproduce
Open Plane.
Navigate to Pages.
Create a new Page or open an existing Page.
Add Chinese characters to the Page content, for example:
Page title
Paragraph text
Bullet lists or headings
In the Page view, click Export → PDF.
Download and open the exported PDF file.
Expected behavior
All Chinese characters in the Page are rendered correctly in the exported PDF.
The PDF content matches what is displayed in the Plane web UI.
Actual behavior
Chinese characters in the exported PDF are:
Garbled
Rendered as squares or some weird symbol(□ / ▢)
Or missing entirely
Non-Chinese (Latin) text renders correctly.
Environment
Plane: Self-hosted
Feature: Pages → Export PDF
OS: (e.g. macOS / Windows / Ubuntu)
Browser: (e.g. Chrome)
PDF viewer: (e.g. Preview / Adobe Reader)
Additional notes
The issue is consistently reproducible.
Exporting the same Page using browser “Print to PDF” renders Chinese text correctly.
This strongly suggests the built-in PDF export pipeline does not embed or load CJK fonts.
Installing and embedding fonts such as Noto Sans CJK (or equivalent) in the PDF renderer should resolve the issue.
