Bug Report
Description of the problem
I'm using pdfMake to create a PDF. I check the content of the text and only then decide what font to use depending on the language it's working fine except the Korean.
using this font https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Nanum+Gothic?selection.family=Nanum+Gothic&selection.subset=korean.
I checked over 10 different fonts for Korean and all of them are missing characters.
(https://www.google.com/get/noto/#sans-kore or https://fonts.google.com/?subset=korean)
vfs_fonts.js.zip
after a lot of research i fond a font that works KaigenSansSC-*.ttf (https://github.com/m13253/kaigen-fonts) but it's a very hevy (23.MB) font and and prefer using something smaller.
at pdfmake they say it mayve an issue in pdfkit... bpampuch/pdfmake#1614
If you could recommend how to solve it I will really appreciate it. Thanks!
