PDF Report shows wrong fonts

rbuser

After a while I had to rebuild an application that's producing some PDF
Reports. The changes I've made have nothing to do with the report
itself, but now the generated PDF has mapped all fonts used (times new
roman and arial) to tahoma. The PDF-Settings of the report all default
and unchanged. No idea where to look...
Any suggstions?

Hi Peter,

This is not a known issue. Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi
are you using? Are you viewing the PDF using Adobe Reader?

For this project I'm using D7 with RB11.04 I've tried AcrobadReader X
and FoxIt-Reader as viwer. Both show that only Tahoma is used in the
PDF, while the report is using Times new Roman and Arial....

Hi Peter,

I first suggest upgrading your version of ReportBuilder to 11.08 and
testing with that. This is a free upgrade to all registered RB 11
users. Contact info@digital-metaphors.com with your serial number and
purchasing email address for upgrade instructions.

Txs Nico,
I'll do that but i doubt that it will help. As said, the reports worked
fine with RB11.04 before.
What makes me wonder is, that the problem seems to have nothing to do
with the runtime environment (tested on 3 different machines), but must
have something to do with the compile time one. So I think the question
is: What may cause font mapping like that at compile time?

Upgrading to 11.08 was a bad idea - Now D7 is missing dclRBC117.BPL

The dclRBC package is built on the fly when you install ReportBuilder.
This fact that it is not present means that the RBTeePackageBuilder
failed when installing. See the following article on how to manually
build and install TeeChart support.

Building TeeChart support seems to fail:

rbTC117.dpk(31) Fatal: Package 'Tee87' wird benötigt, konnte aber nicht
gefunden werden

But I don't have the time to dig into TeeChart integration now. I've to
solve the PDF-Problem. As expected the behaviour of 11.08 is the same
as before: Still all fonts are mapped to tahoma

Please send a simple example demonstrating the issue in .zip format to
support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at it for you.

Hello Nico,
I've got it: It was the translation tool (not RB translation...) that
was suddenly reseting all fonts in all language to tahoma.
Txs for your help!
Best regards,
Peter
