The solution is not to download "F1.ttf" (it doesn’t exist as a real font). Instead, you must map these generic F-tags to actual CIDFonts present on your system—or install the missing Asian fonts.

If you're using Ghostscript (e.g., converting PS to PDF, or printing via CUPS), you can map missing F1–F6 fonts to existing ones. cidfont f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 install

Add these lines:

/F1 /Ryumin-Light ;
/F2 /Ryumin-Light ;
/F3 /GothicBBB-Medium ;
/F4 /GothicBBB-Medium ;
/F5 /KozMinPro-Regular ;
/F6 /KozMinPro-Bold ;

Or point to actual font files:

/F1 (C:/Windows/Fonts/msmincho.ttc) ;

Then run gs -h to verify.

The message indicates a font resource failure. To clear the report status, the administrator must map the requested CIDFonts to valid font files on the host system.

Sample output:

name           type         encoding     emb sub uni object ID
-------------- ------------ ------------ --- --- --- ---------
F1             CID Type 0   Identity-H   yes no  no       4
F2             CID Type 0   Identity-H   yes no  no       5
F3             CID Type 0   Identity-H   yes no  no       6

Here, F1, F2, F3 are embedded subsets. If they are not embedded (emb no), you must install matching system fonts.
