Grid Export to PDF - Can't override Times New Roman Font

[Kellie]

I have been unable to successfully override the Times New Roman font in my PDF.
A screen shot of the PDF is attached.

Here is my raw HTML showing the newly applied styles but the font family, arial, is not getting applied to the PDF!

Here is my code that is applying the styles. All of the styles work EXCEPT for the font-family style. How to fix?

protected void RadGridSearchResults_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (isPdfExport)
    {
        if (e.Item != null)
        {
            if (e.Item.ItemType == GridItemType.AlternatingItem)
            {
                e.Item.Style["background-color"] = "WhiteSmoke";
            }
            else
            {
                e.Item.Style["background-color"] = "White";
            }
            if (e.Item is GridHeaderItem)
            {
                var headerItem = (GridHeaderItem)e.Item;
                headerItem.Style["background-color"] = "WhiteSmoke";
                headerItem.Style["border-bottom-style"] = "solid";
                headerItem.Style["border-bottom-width"] = "1.5px";
                headerItem.Style["border-bottom-color"] = "LightGrey";
                headerItem.Style["height"] = "50px";
                foreach (TableCell cell in headerItem.Cells)
                {
                    cell.Style["font-weight"] = "bold";
                    cell.Style["font-family"] = "arial";
                }
            }
            if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
            {
                var item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
                foreach (TableCell cell in item.Cells)
                {
                    cell.Style["text-align"] = "left";
                    cell.Style["vertical-align"] = "middle";
                    cell.Style["font-size"] = "8pt";
                    cell.Style["font-family"] = "arial";
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Hello Kellie,

I reproduced the problem in a local test. Please note that we will need some time to investigate the issue. I will update this forum thread when I have more information about this problem.
Thank you for your understanding.

Hello Kellie,

Please test the attached project on your end. Note that you have to use the latest version of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX in order for this to work properly.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

While trying out your solution, I accidently got my old code to work by changing the case from "arial" to "Arial".

cell.Style["font-family"] = "Arial";

I also updated to version 2010.3.1215.35 so I'm not sure if updating it assisted with the solution or not.
Is it normal that font-family would be case sensitive?

Hello Kellie,

Yes, the font names should be set with their full name - the casing should be preserved.

As to the other question - there was a font-related bug in the previous version of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX.

Let me know if you need more information.
