I used the hindi font named 'Arial Unicode MS' to show hindi font in PDF. But when I export it from telerik report to PDF programmatically. It will show hindi fonts in PDF on my LOCAL pc. but when i run it on online (SERVER) it will not show hindi fonts in PDF.
I installed Arial Unicode MS on local pc as well as on SERVER too.
I have done much R & D for this. I have not found any solution for this issue. I want that like local pc, hindi fonts should also be displayed online(SERVER).

I need to create AP check for the invoices. I am using the MICR font at the bottom of a check in the SSRS report. I used the text box size as big as 3 times the font size. When I preview the report, the text shows just like Arial font. When I export to PDF and open the document properties of that PDF file, it shows that MICR font exists. But it is not showing like that MICR font that used in check routing/accounting number.
It does not work for in report viewer, exported PDF or word files.
Could anyone please guide me how to show that font in the text box?
Is it a TrueType font? Microsoft has openly stated that if you're using anything other than TrueType e.g. OpenType that you're likely to run into issues with SSRS and the Report Builder. OpenType is not unsupported but has limited support at best.
If a TrueType font is available for MICR, ensure it is installed on your client and server machines. When you install the font on your server, you will need to restart the Reporting Services service, or preferably the server, to detect changes. I found this article exceedingly helpful when setting up custom fonts for SSRS: Setting up Custom Fonts with SQL Server Reporting Services.
The reason why you're seeing a font similar to Arial in your report is because of a limitation with Windows Forms Applications.
The root cause is that Windows Forms applications support TrueType fonts and have limited support for OpenType fonts. If we attempt to use a font that is not supported in Report Builder or SQL Server Data Tool (SSDT) to design a report, the Microsoft Sans Serif font will be substituted.
Found at this source.
I have created a report using Pentaho Report Designer 3.9.1 and it contains Japanese characters. When I try to export the report into PDF, I am not getting the Japanese characters in PDF. Instead of Japanese characters it's showing as empty in PDF.
When I try to export into Excel, Japanese characters are displaying.
It is known that built-in fonts of the JDK are mapped to built-in fonts ( SANS-SERIF, SERIF OR ANY OTHER BUILT-IN FONT) of the PDF standard and that these fonts do not support anything other than western-european languages.
These fonts are not defined to include any Japanese characters as Japanese is not a western european language. If you use a font that does not include Japanese characters, you cannot expect it to display these characters.
Configuration that is needed is in PRD.
Click on File | Configuration
Click on 'output-pageable-pdf'
Set '~.EmbededFonts' to True
Set '~.Encoding' to UTF-8
The reason behing the japanese font working with PDF because, if you are using a metadata as the datasource, the metadata fonts for that field will be having a default font set one say example "Arial-10". You will have to edit the font there or you will have to manually override it in the report designer by setting the "data-format and the style-format" to false.
To get the result in BAServer:
Stop BA Server.
Browse to this file:
\biserver-ee\tomcat\webapps\pentaho\WEB-INF\classes\classic-engine.properties
Change the following properties.
org.pentaho.reporting.engine.classic.core.modules.output.pageable.pdf.Encoding=UTF-8
org.pentaho.reporting.engine.classic.core.modules.output.pageable.pdf.EmbedFonts=true
Start the server.
Update : As per Rajasekaran M, he had to use the font SimHei in PRD and add simhei.ttf to fonts, inorder to work it in both PRD and BIServer.
For who have the utf-8 issue with BI server on Linux, you may need to add font for machine. Below is what I done to resolve:
copy fonts to usr/share/font/your-fonts (not work if copy to /home/your-user/.fonts)
add font command:
$ fc-cache -fv
To list all font:
$ fc-list
Is PDF store the font in binary, or which logic working behind that?
Because, I create PDF from jasper report and used font is installed in my PC only.
When i have checked generated PDF in other machine then it show the correct PDF font
even font not installed in other PC.
Let me know if anything is missing test or verify?
Fonts can be embedded in PDF files. If one font is missing, the text is displayed anyway using another classic font. You can have a great explanation here : http://www.prepressure.com/pdf/basics/fonts
