The problem comes from the fact that there is no font called "msyph". 
"msyph" is just the name of the TTC file. The font is called "Microsoft 
YaHei".

If you set body.font.family to Microsoft YaHei, it should work. I did 
that and it worked fine. See attached samples.



--> BETTER SOLUTION <--

This being said, you'd better REMOVE your parameter body.font.family and 
do what is explained this FAQ:

---
When I convert documents written in Russian (or Polish or Czech or any 
non-western language) to PDF, almost all characters are replaced by the 
"#" character. Is there a workaround for this problem?

The DocBook XSL stylesheets use *several* font families: sans-serif, 
serif and monospace, so you'd better MAP each of these 3 generic font 
families to a Chinese equivalent  as explained in the FAQ (e.g. map 
"Microsoft YaHei" to sans-serif normal, bold, italic, bolditalic).

PS: Everything explained here also applies to XMLmind XSL Utility.
