Sounds like you are trying to use the printer fonts (aka: device fonts). Did you try to use the same font for a Label or TextBox control? Did it render correctly? Were you able to select the font for these controls from the Properties window? If no to all, then you're probably running into a .NET limitation. There is a document (which I can't seem to find at the moment) that described this type of scenario and how only certain types of fonts are supported by the .NET Framework. Since the CR compnoents, specifically the viewers, are 100% managed components, they will have the same runtime limitations.

To workaround, you will need to use a supported font type such as TrueType fonts.
