MyChkBox not displaying correctly in PDF report
I am using ReportBuilder 14.4 from Delphi XE2. This is recently
converted code which was Delphi 2007 using ReportBuilder 11.
We have some reports which include MyChkBox elements. When these are
displayed in ReportBuilder they display correctly however, when the
report device type is set to PDF the checkboxes come out as strange
characters. This all worked fine under the old ReportBuilder 11/Delphi
2007 version.
I have tried various settings, such as PDF encoding as Ansi or Unicode,
but nothing gives me the correct PDF output for these cases. It is
almost as if the PDF is not using the Wingdings font but is using
another font to map these characters.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
