Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/4574

Description

AppFlowy is excellent, but upon reviewing the code, it was found that only Western fonts are supported. For Chinese fonts (including Traditional Chinese) and Japanese fonts, the system's default fonts are being used because the current font files do not include these characters.

Impact

People from mainland China, Taiwan Province of China, Hong Kong of China, Macau of China, Japan, Korea and other countries or regions.

Additional Context

For countries that do not use English as the universal language, fonts need to be adapted. Currently, Adobe, in collaboration with Google, has released an open-source font called Source Han Sans, which supports Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other non-Western languages.

We support Noto Sans SC, which is an unmodulated (“sans serif”) design for languages in mainland China that use the Simplified Chinese variant of the Han ideograms.
