| Hey folks,In Report Builder 2008 I use code such as=Chr(224)in textbox expressions to get Wingdings chars such as the up, down, straight arrows, etc. I run the report and it looks fab on screen, as well as exported to Excel.But if I export to PDF, I've noticed any Wingdings with character values above 127 do not display inside the PDF correctly (just an empty little box.) Inside Acrobat, I go to File-Properties, look at the Fonts tab and I see that Wingdings is successfully embedded (I have the CTP of Sql Server 2008 SP1 installed), but the encoding is set to ANSI. (If I export a document from OpenOffice using their excellent PDF export feature, the encoding says "Built in" and the Wingdings characters all look great.)Wingdings under Chr(127) look fine on the SSRS reports. Any idea if I can do anything about the higher chars?Thank you,Bill |
