   Thanks for the report, @GavinYouth, and the screenshots!

   The likely cause is that DengXian isn't installed on your Mac:

   • Filee can only draw a PDF with fonts that are installed on the computer. When one is missing, it uses a similar font instead, which is the "weird" look.
   • Word for Mac brings DengXian along inside Word itself, so Word's own Save as PDF looks right, but other programs (Filee, LibreOffice, …) can't use that copy.

   To check: during the conversion, does Filee's card show "Missing document fonts: DengXian"?

   • If it does, that's the cause. The PDF looks right once DengXian is installed on the Mac (in Font Book). For now Get fonts on the card opens a Google Fonts search, which can't find DengXian; fix(fonts): Get fonts opens Microsoft's pages for Aptos and DengXian #1425 changes it to open DengXian's Microsoft page.
   • If it doesn't, please attach a small .docx where it happens (the text can be replaced), zipped, so we can see what goes wrong.

   @BhuvaneshS-27, if you're on Windows: DengXian comes with Windows' Chinese (Simplified) Supplemental Fonts. Add them in Settings → System → Optional features → Add an optional feature and convert again.
