Hi Pavan,

Changing font on PDF reports is not a trivial configuration. The configuration must be done at the server level and would require bouncing the system. Is your system on-premise or on-demand? If you are on-demand, you may not have an option to make this configuration.

To support new fonts, fopconfig.xml file under install directory/config/fop has to be updated and the corresponding True Type Font file should be placed on the fontmetrics directory. Note, this is not something that is done commonly so you might still run into unexpected issues. My suggestion would be to stick with the default font if possible.

Hope this helps.

There are some formatting you can do on PDF report such as adding header and footer data. This can be done using page layouts in reports. However, it's not possible to change font in PDF using page layouts or through scripting.
