Crystal Reports Runtime Fonts Issue

[#1]

Hello everybody,

I encounter an issue with some specific fonts that are all installed in the c:\windows\fonts :

• I perfectly see the fonts in the CR2020 IDE and i'm free to choose them without any errors.
• When I start the PDF export functionnality in the IDE, it works as a charm, my fonts are exported in the pdf file.
• When I execute the same PDF export via the CR runtime 13.0.4000.0, all the fonts are replaced by the default fallback font : Arial
• The runtime is executed by a self made API coded in .NET 4.8 and compiled in AMD64. It runs on a windows server 2019 64bits

Is there a known issue and can someone could help me to troubleshoot?

Hi Tristan,

Thanks for the update, sorry I meant to update the post also but got side tracked..

As noted Fonts are tricky...

It could be the order you installed them, not sure if CR would find/use the first or last one installed.

And it could be Windows is controlling which one to use, CR is built using C++ so another test would be to write code using C++ to see what font is used.

The other thing is why install both, I would think either one is good enough, but note that CR can only use TTF's.

Thanks again

Don
