Euro sign missing while rendering to PDF
Found a fix. Although I believe that has to be working by default.
Include the following ovverride in RSReprtServer.config
<Extension Name="PDF" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.ImageRenderer.PDFRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.ImageRendering"> <Configuration> <DeviceInfo> <HumanReadablePDF>true</HumanReadablePDF> </DeviceInfo> </Configuration> </Extension>
For @msft dev people, here is how to troubleshoot the underlying problem

The downside of enabeling the HumanReadablePDF flag is that the PDF files can become rather large.
In some cases a 2MB is rendered to a mighty 188MB.
