Hi Developers,

App version 3.9.11
system language: Chinese

I use DT to save the web page, then convert it to pdf (and then delete the saved web page), and then copy the text from the converted pdf file. Some Chinese characters are visually correct, but there are actually the following problems:

  1. The font size is smaller than other font sizes.
  2. Unable to be searched, Wikilink

Copy directly from the saved webarchive, then there is no problem.
This is just one example, and many Chinese characters will have this problem.

Text-encoding is the same problem whether it is automatic or UTF-8.

By the way

I just tested it. Printing in the browser and saving as pdf is the same problem. It seems that it may not be a problem with DT. :grinning_face:
