Hi Carli - are you using HTML styling from the database? Or are you parsing an XML file from the DB and setting those as expression based styles?

 

Note that RB and and VS in preview render through GDI and the server through HTML in the browser. In some cases the fonts avaialble can be different (ensure the appropriate fonts are installed on the server and clients). Also attaching the RDL can be helpful to diagnose.

Thanks for your reply Jon-Heide.

I am using expression based styles from an XML file.

If the font wasn't installed wouldn't I have problems with all textboxes in which the font is used? I only have problems with the toggle-textboxes.

I will try to attach the RDL-file. I'm new here so I have to find out how to do that. :smileyhappy: Or do you want me to post the code here?

    I'm having the same issue, except I'm pulling the FontFamily value from a relational database and setting it in the cell as an expression. I did find that hardcoding the font family resolved the issue, but this is not an ideal long-term solution. Is there a fix in the works for this?

      I forgot that I'd already had this problem, and found my own reply when searching online for a solution. :)

       

      Anyone else experience this? Any solutions?
