options:

- use RB's TppDBRichText. There are no known issues with it not honoring
fonts. I recommend using common True Type fonts that would be installed to
any machine and available to any printer driver.

- WPTools and TRichView are third-party products that provide compatbility

Here is an article with more details...


----------------------------------------------
Article: ReportBuilder's RichText architecture
----------------------------------------------

The RichText in ReportBuilder is a wrapper around Delphi's TRichEdit which
in turn relies on Windows. To use some of the more advanced features of
Windows RichEdit, see the topic on InfoPower RichEdit Support below.

In general Windows RichEdit supports the type of formatting that you can do
using WordPad.

InfoPower RichEdit Support
---------------------------
InfoPower from Woll2Woll Software is a popular database add-on product for
Delphi. InfoPower's TwwRichEdit components support the Windows RichEdit2
format. This format allows the rich text data to contain embedded bitmaps
and OLE objects. For more information please see http:\\www.Woll2Woll.com.

ReportBuilder includes a component that enables the TppRichText and
TppDBRichText controls in ReportBuilder to use the formatting capabilities
of InfoPower's TwwRichEdit when rendering RTF data. The ppWWRichEd.pas unit
located in the ..\RBuilder\InfoPower directory defines a TwwDBRichEdit
descendant and then registers the class with ReportBuilder. This enables the
TppRichText and TppDBRichText controls in ReportBuilder to use the
formatting capabilities of TwwDBRichEidt when rendering data.


WPTools Support
----------------
WPTools is a collection of components used to edit and print formatted text.
With its own RTF engine, WPTools offers numerous features not supported by
the standard Windows RichEd20.dll. This control lets you use tables,
paragraph frames, headers and footers etc. Using the optional ReportBuilder
support units for WPTools 2.x, you can print the enhanced WPTools features
(justified text, tables, graphics...) within your ReportBuilder reports. For
more information please see http:\\www.wptools.de.

TRichView
----------
TRichView is a suite of native Delphi components for displaying, editing,
and printing hypertext documents. Documents can contain tables, pictures,
and images. TRichView is available from www.trichview.com. There is a
wrapper for available for using TRichView inside ReportBuilder, see
http://www.digital-metaphors.com/Subpages/Downloads/CompanionRCL.html or
