Description

I can't find a way to use Japanese font with jsPDF.

I've created the font with the fontconverter using Noto Sans JP from Google Font, I've imported it but I can't use any Glyphs that I find on the Google Font page here: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Noto+Sans+JP#glyphs

I can see that the font is imported because it changes if I remove the font script.

Here is a CodeSandbox that reproduces the error: https://codesandbox.io/s/busy-joliot-jwjy8?file=/main.js

I also tried with others fonts, without any better results.

I am using jsPDF in a web application with users from all around the world and I am gettings requests from Japanese to handle it. Any help would be very appreciated!

Thanks

Start by reproducing the issue in the linked CodeSandbox, especially main.js, using the font generated by jsPDF's fontconverter. Check how Noto Sans JP is imported and used, then compare the result with the other fonts mentioned. Done means Japanese glyphs render correctly in the generated PDF.
