【rst2pdf do not support chinese fonts such as simsun】

[zjingwang]

hi, everyone,
when i tried to use a customed stylesheet for chinese,i set embeddedFonts as simsun.ttc, and run the comman make pdf,i got this problem:

[WARNING] languages.py:41 Language 'zh' not supported by Docutils, using 'en' instead.
resolving references...
done
writing Zchain... 
[WARNING] languages.py:41 Language 'zh' not supported by Docutils, using 'en' instead.
[CRITICAL] styles.py:302 Error processing font simsun: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'pfbFileName'
make: *** [Makefile:26：pdf] 错误 1

this is my conf.py in my project:

# -- Options for PDF output --------------------------------------------------

# Grouping the document tree into PDF files. List of tuples
# (source start file, target name, title, author, options).
#
# If there is more than one author, separate them with \\.
# For example: r'Guido van Rossum\\Fred L. Drake, Jr., editor'
#
# The options element is a dictionary that lets you override
# this config per-document. For example:
#
# ('index', 'MyProject', 'My Project', 'Author Name', {'pdf_compressed': True})
#
# would mean that specific document would be compressed
# regardless of the global 'pdf_compressed' setting.

pdf_documents = [
    ('show', 'Zchain', 'Zchain', 'zchain team'),
]

# A comma-separated list of custom stylesheets. Example:
pdf_stylesheets = ['a4','zh_CN']
pdf_style_path = ['.', '_styles']
pdf_font_path = ['/usr/share/fonts', '/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/']
pdf_language = "zh_CN"
pdf_toc_depth = 9999
pdf_use_numbered_links = False
pdf_fit_background_mode = 'scale'
pdf_repeat_table_rows = True

and this is my rst2pdf stylesheet:

{
  "embeddedFonts": [
    "simsun.ttc",
    "simsun.ttc",
    "simsun.ttc",
    "simsun.ttc"
  ],
  "fontsAlias": {
    "stdFont": "simsun",
    "stdBold": "simsun",
    "stdItalic": "simsun",
    "stdBoldItalic": "simsun",
    "stdMono": "simsun",
    "stdMonoBold": "simsun",
    "stdMonoItalic": "simsun",
    "stdMonoBoldItalic": "simsun",
    "stdSans": "simsun",
    "stdSansBold": "simsun",
    "stdSansItalic": "simsun",
    "stdSansBoldItalic": "simsun"
  },
  "styles": [
    [
      "base",
      {
        "wordWrap": "CJK"
      }
    ],
    [
      "literal",
      {
        "wordWrap": "None"
      }
    ]
  ]
}

and this is my rst2pdf and python version:

python==3.6
rst2pdf==0.99

Hi! I'm sorry, this tool doesn't support non-latin fonts very well at all and we're not planning to add support since we're really just maintaining it. Patches are welcome but we would probably also need help testing the changes.

Got it, thanks for your time.
