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
