How can I set a default family font on a Pentaho report designer - pentaho

I am currently working on modifying an existing report in Pentaho Report Designer V7.0.0. I would like to change the font family of all fields in the main report and sub-reports from Calibri to Arial.
To do this, I went to the Structure tab and selected the Master report, Page Header, Report Header, and sub-reports, and changed their font family to Arial. I also selected all fields and changed their font family to Arial as well.
When I generate a report using Excel,the not empty cells are using Arial, but I noticed that all the empty cells still show Calibri font family.
I would like to know how to modify the entire report's font family so that I don't see Calibri anymore.
Thank you.

Export a SSRS report to PDF - specific font lost

We are now using a specific font in our SSRS reports.
However, on the PowerBI ReportServer when we extract the report to PDF : the specific font is lost and replaced by Arial.
The font has been imported on the PBIReportServer server.
Its embeddability set to Installable.
Its Type is "True type font file"
When we extract to Word this is fine.
This is really specific to PDF.
Do you know what could be missing ?
Thank you and best regards

Apache PDFBox form field with two styles

I'm using a pdf with editable form fields. When I click on a field and edit the value manually, it apparently uses different style from the one showing the value in non editing mode. If I change font size in default appearance via PDFBox only visual style of field in editing mode changes but not the style of displayed value.
Field in non editing mode:
field in edit mode:
As seen from the pictures, even the font is different.
Do you have any idea how can I change font size of the displayed value?

Using custom fonts (non-MS Office) for Word VBA

I have installed some custom Asian fonts in the Windows/Fonts folder. I am writing a code that reads some item names (just a plain string, ABC, but in Japanese) from MS-Excel cells, then pastes them in a text box in a new MS-Word document. The problem is that I can't use my custom fonts (these are TTF files) to format the text in MS-Word.
I tried to name the font with .ttf in the end, besides simply referring to its name as it appears in the drop-down menu in MS-Word.
Wrd_Doc.Shapes("shpTwo").TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Name = "ShigotoMemogaki Regular"
It refers to a text box named shpTwo. I pasted some text there and I want it to look like this custom font, named ShigotoMemogaki Regular. This font is saved in my Fonts folder, it works in MS-Word when I use it, but somehow the code does not recognize it, and instead, it uses the default Office Asian font, which is MSMincho.
So the text is clearly copied from MS-Excel, it is in the newly created text box in a new Word document, but it's not in the font I need.

Arial Narrow font changed to Myriad Pro when Adobe form is generated

A custom program creates a BOM report(an Adobe form) using selection screen parameters and download report on Presentation server.
The report is made in ADOBE FORMS where the font is set as Arial Narrow for all fields in Palettes. However, when the form is downloaded font changes to Myriad Pro. Acrobat Reader is used as a default program to generate PDFs. How can Arial Narrow be printed in output.
I would check SAP Note 2367603 - Arial font missing in PDF output. This was released on September 20th, 2016. Could be a good starting point for you.

Formatting multiple fields at once in RDL or RDLC

Over the years, I've been working with SSRS reports (RDL and RDLC) but I have not found a solution to this problem: Let's say I have x number of fields in my report. I would like to highlight all the fields at once and modify the background-color, foreground-color, font and font size, for all fields at the same time.
Is this possible? I've searched on the web and I've experimented with the report designer, and I have not found anything that allows me to do this (other than modifying the underlying XML directly, which is not an option).
Select all the controls in the designer and press F4 for properties. Change the background color, font etc.
It is possible to just select all fields and go to properties->format->paste from another fields format. That's it.
