Font problem in reports when the font doesn't exist

We have created many reports using the Arial Unicode MS font with
Crystal Reports. All was good until we tried them on systems that
don't have that font installed.

The reports are showed, somehow, but an error message will pop up for
every piece of text using that font -it says the font is not installed
or something like that. Here's an example, if the report is showing 10
fields per record, and there are 3000 records, then the error message
will pop up 30000 times. Not nice.

It was not a problem when we were using VS2003, but it became a
problem when we converted the project to VS2005.

Maybe it's a conversion issue? We are not sure how to deal with this.
Should we embed the fonts in case they are not installed? Should we
use another set of standard fonts?

Thanks!
Paul

I have searched this group for ways to create jumbo fonts in my Access forms and reports. Unlike MS Word and MS Excel, Access has a 127 point font limit. (About 1.75" tall) I'm referring to bound controls here, so pasting a bitmap into the form is not a solution. I am using Access 2000 (9.0.4402 SR-1). After playing with some ActiveX controls, I found the Microsoft Forms 2.0 textbox looked promising. I placed the control in a form and...

Hi, I'm trying to migrate from Java to C# and have encountered a problem. I can't seem to find a way to create (ultra)condensed fonts for later use in a program. In Java I had a really nice method some_font.deriveFont(AffineTransform), which would return a new font. (AffineTransform was just a simple 3x3 matrix) I'll be most grateful for the help.

I need to create multi lingual invoices from reportlab. I think it is possible to use UTF 8 strings but there is a problem with the font. I could not find any free TTF font that can do latin1, latin2, arabic, chinese and other languages at the same time. Is there a single font that is able to handle these languages? (Most of our invoices will be for EN, FR, DE, HU, SK, CZ, RO but some of them needs to be in Chinese.) Thanks, Laszlo

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
