I tried to export a mindmap with Chinese characters to PDF.

The source is:

@startmindmap
+ SIR
++ 指標引擎
@endmindmap

Run command like this:
plantuml -tpdf xxx.plantuml

But I got the result with all Chinese characters turned into "#".

PlantUML works well when using PNG/SVG as destination, so I think it is a bug in PDF convertion.

Because I am integrating PlantUML diagram in LaTeX document with markdown package(https://github.com/Witiko/markdown), I discussed the problem with the author of the package(https://github.com/Witiko/markdown/issues/555), seems it is better to resolve the issue in PlantUML.
