Re: synPDF create PDF from Metafile problem

As stated in this forum and the SynPDF unit documentation (i.e. interface comments), there is not "font fallback" mechanism implemented yet.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library … t_fallback

You'll have to explicitly set a font which contains all Chinese glyphs at metafile content creation.
