There might be several problems here. 

Which version are you using? 

One problem might be the default encoding of the JVM where you are running activiti. Are you changing the encoding? 

Can you check which encoding are you using? 

[dylanblue]

the version is 6.0.0

I didn't change the default encoding of the jvm;

but the activiti-app can display chinese well in web page.

i have searched on the internet that it may be the default font problem.

can you tell me how to configure the font name when the process diagram generated?

Hi Dylan, that's probably in this project: Activiti/modules/activiti-image-generator at 6.x · Activiti/Activiti · GitHub 

Not sure if the font is configurable, but that sounds like a great community contribution. 

Hope that helps.

I have found the source code to change font name.but it's not configurable.

I have just change the font name from "Arial " to "宋体" in the class "

ProcessEngineConfiguration".

Thank you for advice.
