I've managed to find https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/MavenPlugin which shows a similar problem for Korean, unfortunately I couldn't find any style guide or other guidelines on which font I could choose to replace these two in https://github.com/stackforge/clouddocs-maven-plugin/blob/master/src/main/resources/cloud/fo/docbook.xsl

Any hints?

When this came up for the Korean font we decided that rather than bloat the plugin with all the fonts we might need, I should add some params so that you could configure the path to some alternate fonts (and specify that the fo xslts use that font). I haven't done that yet. It's not a huge task (< 1 day). How soon would this be needed?

[Łukasz Jernaś (deejay1)]

Hmm, I think we will need it rather sooner than later, but somewhere near the feature freeze or doc freeze would be ok. After that the translators would probably like to check the generated PDF documents for errors also.

Do I assume correctly that with the feature we could move the font specifications into the POM?

You maven plugin insert Polish font.

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/MavenPlugin

That's it.

So. same problem is korean pdf.

Me add korean font.
