I was also able to use the Windows SimHei font (which I think is part of
the Windows regional support for Simplified Chinese):
<font name="SimHei"
ttf="c:\winnt\fonts\SimHei.ttf"
embed="true">
</font>
These two fonts produce slightly different effects in PDF--the Adobe
font uses a lighter stroke weight, so it's harder to read (lighter) but
probably more aesthetically pleasing (not that I know anything about the
aesthetics of ideographic scripts).
The SimHei font is what XSL Formatter uses as its default font for
Simplified Chinese (zh-CN).
Cheers,
E.
