This is a rendering comparison between Chrome and PDF-XChange Editor (both at 150%). In Chrome the characters are displayed correctly, but in PDF-XChange Editor many Kanji appear to lose their horizontal strokes.
If antialiasing/ClearType is turned off, the horizontal strokes no longer disappear, but the display becomes very jagged as expected.
Is there any way to remove the jaggies while keeping the horizontal strokes from disappearing?
Horizontal strokes in Kanji are not rendered

Hello, shirouzu
To investigate such issues, we typically need a copy of a PDF document which showcases them. Could I ask for a copy of any such file?
Kind regards,

Re: Horizontal strokes in Kanji are not rendered
Hello Daniel,
When displaying the sample file provided by @shirouzu here, some strokes are indeed missing as reported. However, I noticed that in the Print dialog preview, the strokes of the characters are displayed without any missing parts. It might be helpful for the development team to know this when investigating, so I'm letting you know just in case.
