Ligatures or combined letters from reports to pdf

Dear readers,

Today I stumbled upon a new issue that I've never seen before.
When I run a report (customized invoice report) and save it to pdf, sometimes (nope, not always) letter combinations like "fi" are put together (ligature) in a single character. The font that our designer choose, has/supports no ligatures/special characters, so only spaces are displayed/printed out.

Is there any way (and, if yes, please which one) to disable the use of ligatures by this report in Visual Studio?

Thanks in advance,
best regards,

Jeroen

Aw, never mind. The font just combines as soon as possible. Multiple view applications can't cope with it.

Changed the font to one with different behaviour.

Regards,

Jeroen
