@Wieland As already said you don't need to develop a specific software for make this test, the standard Qt "Text Editor" example show same problem as described. My platform is Windows 10, I'll try to test in different platform in the meanwhile.

I have tried your example with Qt5.8.0 on Archlinux without any problems.

maybe it is a font issue?

Tested also on Windows 7 (the Qt "text edit" example) and same problem. The strange thing is if I remove the

Printer.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::PdfFormat);

line, that's mean paint on the printer, it work as expected and japanese characters are printed correctly.

@Suppaman

Are you using any font that maybe does not support japanese?

I set the same font that correctly paint japanese into the printer. I'm checking into Qt sources if pdf creation work in some different way...
