Sorry, but sending us JPG screenshots does not really help. As explained

we need a sample XSL-FO file allowing us to reproduce the issue here at 
XMLmind.

No.

May be. We don't even know which version of XMLmind XSL-FO Converter you 
are using!

May be. However as explained here:

Before writing your bug report

Make sure to use the latest version of the product. Download and run 
latest Evaluation Edition if needed to.

it's up to you to check this.



--> Please carefully read this new section

"Special support for East Asian fonts"

http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/_distrib/doc/user/implementation.html#east_asian_fonts

because we suspect that properly declaring the East Asian fonts you use 
to XMLmind XSL-FO Converter would solve the issue.



--> Then please download latest Evaluation Edition from here:

http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/downloadeval.shtml#xfc_engine

and give this version a try by using the proper 
-eastAsiaFontFamilies=map option.



--> If doing this does not solve the issue, please file a formal bug 
report including a sample XSL-FO file allowing us to reproduce the issue 
here at XMLmind.
