If you open the pdf-file that I sent you earlier, do you have the same problem as me? You should try in Acrobat Reader.
Thank you.

Hello,

We have analyzed the issue. The problem does not occur:
- if do not embed fonts in the pdf file
- embed fonts and use the UseUnicodeMode option (only in the .NET engine).

the problem appears:
- if embed fonts and do not use UseUnicodeMode option.

In the JS engine, the UseUnicodeMode mode is not implemented (technical problems).
Here, the character setting mode by name. In this mode, there are some problems with certain characters in some fonts - in the font may be set incorrectly (or not set at all) broadcast symbol name to the glyph.

If a glyph for some characters is not found, AdobeAcrobat displays a special character instead of these characters. Most often it is a blank square, in this font - struck-through box. Other viewers will not notice missing characters.

In all problematic numbers uses non-breaking space as a group separator. In this font, probably incorrectly specified broadcast non-breaking space in the glyph. Therefore, struck-through box appears instead.

In this case, there are workarounds:
- use another font
- do not to include the font in the PDF file
- render reports in the .NET engine.

Thank you.
