[PATCH 1/8] docs: conf.py: only use CJK if the font is available

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab
Date: Sun Jul 14 2019 - 11:10:47 EST


If we try to build a book with asian characters with XeLaTeX
and the font is not available, it will produce an error.

So, instead, add a logic at conf.py to detect if the proper
font is installed.

This will avoid an error while building the document, although
the result may not be readable.
