generating pdf's from crystal reports on linux

we are running crystal report XI on linux

they generate a pdf, which is served out to a web browser.

But... we have had issues, where the fonts didn't exist on the linux side... so,

the pdf created had a default font.

We fixed this issue by installing the used fonts up on linux

But now... we have an HTML section that's not displaying properly.

specifically the <p> tag

any thoughts? suggestions?

should we resort to removing the html? or, is there something else that can be done?
