In the first 9.2.2 release w/Windows 10 Pro (1909 : 1863.1198), there was no problem.
But now in the 9.2.2 release w/Windows 10 Pro (20H2 : 19042.630), Garbled characters are occurring.

I compared the results of the two installations.
There was one difference.
OK installation: "C:\Program Files (x86)\PDF24\gs\lib\cidfmap" file exist.
NG installation: not exist.
-----< cidfmap >-----
%!
% cidfmap generated automatically by mkcidfm.ps from fonts found in

% Substitutions

I looked at that file.
-----< mkcidfm.ps >-----
...
% Generate a cidfmap file for substituting CID fonts with TrueType
% fonts, based on fonts found in the directory FONTDIR.

% Usage: gswin32c -q -dBATCH -sFONTDIR=c:/windows/fonts

I try this in the garbled problem environment.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\PDF24\gs\bin\gswin32c" -q -dBATCH -sFONTDIR=C:\Windows\Fonts -sCIDFMAP="C:\Program Files (x86)\PDF24\gs\lib\cidfmap" mkcidfm.ps
As a result, the cidfmap file was created and there were no garbled characters. It's ok.
The new version 10.0.4 has the same problem.

But,

It didn't work the same way.
Whether the method is good or not,
copy from created cidfmap file to 10.0.4 environment (same location),
It seems to work well.
In the new release 10.0.6 w/Windows 10 Pro (20H2 : 19042.630), Garbled characters are occurring. It happens in the same way.
I copy the 9.2.2 cidfmap file to 10.0.6, It seems to work well, too.
