Chinese characters in PDF

Hello,

 

I am having some trouble with chinese characters in PDF generation.

I do not know any chinese, but the customer gave me a document to copy the text excerpts from and I have already done that. What strikes me as odd is that most of the characters show up, but some just don't.

Wherever I want to insert them in the page, they are not shown in the PDF.

 

Is there any reason why this is happening?

This is one of the text excerpts that do not show up anywhere on the page: 设备租用报价

 

Maybe I have to set some enconding parameters in the header?

 

Thanks for any advice.

 

Best Regards,

Marc

Thanks, Shoal. Arial Unicode MS is the main font type I already have in my page, but in some cases, I simply forgot to put it in the style. Ouch.
