  Hi,

  I have forwarded this issue to the dev team with internal tracking id 440601. I will update you once I will hear from them.

  In the meantime, you can convert the TTC font to TTF and it will work as expected. You can use any online font converter like Transfonter:

  Hi,

  The .ttc is not just a font file, but a collection of the fonts combined into a single file (“ttc” stands for “TrueType Collection”).

  When registering such a file, you must specify not only the URL to the font file but also the PostScript name of the font from the collection you want to use:

  doc.registerFont({
     source: <url>,
     family: <postscript name>,
     name: <your name>
  });
  

  Meiryo.ttc contains 4 fonts: “Meiryo”, “Meiryo-Italic”, “MeiryoUI” and “MeiryoUI-Italic”, so when calling registerFont you must specify one of these names:

  doc.registerFont({
     source: "meiryo.ttc",
     family: "Meiryo,"
     name: "fonttest"
  });
  

  ~regards
