Hey Telerik guys,

I have this same problem, Visual Studio shows the font in bold format but when I create the pdf, fonts are not bold. I know this is probably a font embedding problem. Is there anyway I can embed a font when creating my pdf? (I'm doing it programatically)

public void ExportToPDF(string reportName, Telerik.Reporting.Report reportToExport)

        {

            string mimeType = string.Empty;

            string ext = string.Empty;

            Encoding encoding = Encoding.Default;

            byte[] reportBytes = Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor.Render(

                "PDF"

                , reportToExport

                , null

                , out mimeType

                , out ext

                , out encoding);

            string fileName = reportName + ".pdf";

            FileStream fs = new FileStream(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(fileName), FileMode.CreateNew);

            fs.Write(reportBytes, 0, reportBytes.Length);

            fs.Close();

            fs.Dispose();

        }

Thanks in advance, you guys rock!

Hello Fabio,

Thank you for the kind words - really appreciated.
As for your question - we have not been able to replicate the problem you talk about. For example if you take a look at our Invoice demo report, you would notice that it has some headers set as bold. Exporting to pdf still shows them bold - can you verify that. Otherwise the fonts are embedded into the pdf document by default and this is controlled by the device information setting parameter FontEmbedding.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the fast reply.

I forgot to mention, I'm using a non-standard font, called "Frutiger LT 55 Roman" (I had to include this .ttf in windows folder so it would show up as an option under Font Name, on the properties panel). Then, in design mode it works as expected, but not on the rendered PDF. Default fonts, as Arial behave as expected.

Any thoughts?

Thanks again.

Hi Fabio,

Thank you for the additional information. I've installed the font in question on my machine and tested this - indeed it would seem like the bold text looks almost identical to the one that is not bold. If you look at the attached pdf and screenshot you would notice that in the pdf's embedded fonts collection we've properly passed information for bold font, and still the Adobe Reader shows it almost identically. There is not much we can do from here, as this would seem like a font or Adobe Reader's problem. I'm pretty confident that if you use Adobe Professional to create manually a document with this font, it would behave in the same way.

Best wishes,

Hi Steve,

It might indeed be something in the font. Since it's being embedded already.

Well, Thanks for your support this week.

keep up the good work
