Class com.aspose.pdf.exceptions.FontNotFoundException: Font 宋体 was not found

I’m sure the font file has been installed correctly on my Windows system.When I try to use this font by Chinese font name, it throws execption:
FontRepository.findFont("宋体");
class com.aspose.pdf.exceptions.FontNotFoundException: Font 宋体 was not found
While if i use the English font name,it runs successfully:
FontRepository.findFont(“SimSun”);
I want to know why it is unable to use Chinese font name to find the font.It is very inconvenient.As in jdk, we can create font with Chinese font name successfully:
new java.awt.Font('宋体', java.awt.Font.PLAIN, 12)

Here is the font file.It is installed by default on the Windows system.
simsun.zip (8.8 MB)

Can you please share the font image like below for our reference? What Name for your font does the OS shows at your end?

Also, have you tried setting locale? e.g. Locale.setDefault(new Locale("tr_TR"));

Thanks for your reply.Here is the image at my end.It shows “宋体”.

And I tried to set locale,but it does not work.
System.out.println(Locale.getDefault()); // zh_CN
Locale.setDefault(Locale.CHINA);
System.out.println(Locale.getDefault()); //zh_CN
FontRepository.findFont("宋体"); // throws FontNotFoundException
