  We have an Azure installation using a special Font and configured Font-Factory in web.conf as to your instructions.

  We now have the issue, that with the HTTP handler the Report gets rendered correctly:

  ../Report.rdlx?OutputFormat=pdf
  

  But when we use PdfExport in code:

  var exporter = new PdfExport();
  exporter.Export(...);
  

  The fonts are not displayed. The Font factory seems to be ignored.

  Any idea why?

  Hello,

  This issue is fixed in the AR13. If you are using lower version then AR13, I suggest you to upgrade to AR13 or the latest version i.e AR14.

  An improved PDF Font Factory allows to embed end-user defined characters (EUDCs) in PDF by modifying the web.config settings. The information that you set for the end-user defined characters (EUDCs) in the web.config file will override the registry setting at the Azure Web Application deployment.

  Also, note that: For the Azure worker role project, use an absolute path instead of a virtual path in the code above:

  Hope it helps.

  Thanks,
