Hi Kim,

I was able to reproduce this issue in MATLAB R2022b.

To work around the issue, consider doing the following:

1. Download the Noto Sans KR font from the website:

https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Sans+KR

2. Extract the ZIP file and navigate to the “static” folder.

3. The folder contains a list of font files, and all the fonts need to be installed. Right click each font file and choose the option "Install" to install the font. To install for all users, right-click on the font file, select "Show more options," and then choose "Install for all users."

4. Once all the font files are installed, launch MATLAB.

5. Published the input file with the following command to use the installed font:

publish('thefile', 'format', 'pdf', 'bodyFont', 'Noto Sans KR', 'monospaceFont', 'Noto Sans KR', 'titleFont', 'Noto Sans KR') 

You may also consider using the font "Malgun Gothic", which should be installed with Windows 11.

publish('thefile', 'format', 'pdf', 'bodyFont', 'Malgun Gothic', 'monospaceFont', 'Malgun Gothic', 'titleFont', 'Malgun Gothic') 

I hope it helps!
