Crystal report crash with exotic font

[denappel]

Hi,

Yesterday I was facing a weird problem using Crystal Reports in
VS2008. I have to make print label for supermarket products.

They use an exotic lettertype for the price, being MarkerGD.
It appears that if I change the lettertype to a known one as century
gothic, the application doesn't crash.

My code is:

BL.LidlBase.CrystalReportProductTickets cr = new
Lidl.BL.LidlBase.CrystalReportProductTickets();
cr.SetDataSource(dsProducts);

CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportOptions o = new
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportOptions();
o.ExportDestinationType =
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportDestinationType.Disk File;
o.ExportFormatType =
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableD ocFormat;

cr.ExportToDisk(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportForm atType.PortableDocFormat,
filename);

It crashes on the call to ExportToDisk (see below for exception
detail)

Does anybody have a clue how to get it working with the MarkerGD
lettertype?

I'm sure that it's the font type, cause when I change the font to a
common one, the pdf gets created
without any error.

The error that I got is the following:
