Barcode font in SSRS issue when printing but not when running the report

Posted on by adam260 1,871
I was wondering if anyone has experienced this or might know the fix. Currently whenever we run a report that has a textbox with a barcode font style it will display correctly whenever we run the report within AX. This tells me it finds the barcode font. However whenever we try to print preview or print the report it displays as the default arial font like it did not find the font. Why would it display correctly when we run the report but not when we print it? We are running the following 1. AX 2012 R2 We have installed our barcode font on the following servers and restarted them after the install. 1. SQL Server (SSRS Server) 2. AOS 3. Client Also please do not suggest generating an image instead of displaying a font correctly as this is not a valid solution to our problem. Thanks

    The key is to install the font via control panel>fonts rather than C:\windows\fonts. You will need to reboot the server as well not just the service. I rebooted both the aos + ssrs/sql server.

    Hi Adam,

    I'm having the same issue. How did you install the barcode fonts on the SSRS server? What installer did you use?

    Thanks,

    Torben

    I'm not too sure what fixed the issue but midweek it just started working. I'm thinking it may have had to deal with some other server reboots we did as well.

    You can try to put the barcode textbox into a rectangle control. You need to consider the barcode was covered by others.

    Currently the report does not have any hyperlinks. And the barcode works whenever we view the report its just whenever we try to print it that it does not.

    In your report do you have any hyperlink to any field, if any try to remove the hyperlink and check it out.

    I hope you come across this below link:
