[RESOLVED]adobe han fonts fail to display simplified chinese character

Hey,

I have installed a number of adobe CJK fonts and I am having trouble with some glyphs. Simplified characters in general are not rendered at all and some more rare japanese characters. Traditional characters are more or less always rendered. Here's a screenshot of the same sentence from both my computer and my phone:

As you can see quite a few characters are missing. I'm running a HiDPI display with scaling (1440p) with 163 DPI, i'm not sure if that plays a role in this.  I have tested other CJK font packages and those work a lot better, only seldom not displaying something... Ideas?

EDIT: Here's installed packages

root@adjudicator /home/dheart # pacman -Q | grep adobe
adobe-source-han-sans-cn-fonts 1.004-2
adobe-source-han-sans-jp-fonts 1.004-2
adobe-source-han-sans-kr-fonts 1.004-2
adobe-source-han-sans-otc-fonts 1.004-2
adobe-source-han-sans-tw-fonts 1.004-2
adobe-source-han-serif-cn-fonts 1.001-1
adobe-source-han-serif-otc-fonts 1.001-1
adobe-source-han-serif-tw-fonts 1.001-1

Cheers,

Nick

[EDIT2]
Uninstalling aur/ttf-google-fonts-git resolved the problem.

If you have the otc version installed you should not need the four separate language versions perhaps that is the cause of the issue.

I tried having the OTC version only, or the noto version only, no difference...
