How are they displayed? As rectangles, or maybe completely wrong?
What font is used for Chinese text?

As far as I know, Arial does not include Chinese characters.
They are displayed in TRichView or browsers because of font substitution (when a character cannot be found in a font, it is displayed from some other font that has this character).
Sorry, I do not know how font substitution for missing characters work in PDF in general and in SynPDF specifically. Please address this question to SynPDF developer.
