We are currently using reporting services to display reports in our application.
Amongst the reports there is one that shows barcodes (using an idautomation font).
We've installed the font on every pc that uses the software, and it works on all but 4.
Now we've checked the following:
The user signs in on another pc and it works. So not user related
The user uses the font in a word document. So nothing wrong with the font itself.
I used a textbox with strikethrough font in my report. In preview, the report has that font and also in Print. But exporting to PDF has no strikethrough font. (Export to excel has this font). Can anybody help to resolve this.
I added tooltips to the column headings in a report deployed to SQL05 RSvc. When the report is viewed in the web-based report viewer, the tooltips display properly. The report is normally launched by a Winforms app that opens a window containing a .Net report viewer (2008 version). In this viewer, the tooltips do not display. Does the desktop viewer not support tooltips on report items?
I am having a problem with Print button not showing up. I tried everything but I can get it to show itself on the toolbar. I am using reporting viewer on local report on the web page. I published my local report on the server but still not showing. If anybody knows how to fix this problem please help.
I am also tring to insert a report parameter in the header section of the report but when I get to parameters section it tells me that "This report does not contain any parameteres".
I am running SQL 6.5 and 7.0 utilities on my NT 4.0 SP 5 machine. All of a sudden the query outputs in ISQL or query analyser are garbage. The font is overlaying each other, so that the only way I can view query output is by using the grid output selection in SQL 7.0 query analyser. This is the second company I've worked for where this issue has suddenly occured. I have reinstalled 6.5 and 7.0 to no avail. This is obviously some OS problem. Does anyone know how to overcome this?
I have made a database. And three tables db_ka, db_kha, and db_ga. Each tables have names stored in NEPALI LANGUAGE. I want SQL query which can give output of the name starting with "ka". HERE, "ka" is not in ENGLISH, it is stored in NEPALI language, hence, another font, [Preeti Font].
I have a report that uses a Garamond font and it renders correctly in HTML, but when the report is converted to PDF, the font changes (I believe to a variation of Arial, but that seems irrelevant). My Operations team has installed the Garamond font on both the web server as well as the Report Server, but the problem is still occurring.
I seem to remember that the font size and type can be controlled in SQL Server 6.5 and the process controlls the fonts displayed throughout the program - Enterprise Manager, Query Tool, etc.
I have just re-installed 6.5 and the fonts are way too small.
In my application I need to make the report in different languages.I made a table for report parameters, like:create myTable (language_id int not null,parameter char(50) null,constraint PK_lang_ID PRIMARY KEY (language_id))and then tried:insert into myTable values(1, 'Bank info') - for Englishinsert into myTable values(2, '????') - for Chinese.it worked OK ( I have installed "Chinese" language in server)but when run:select * from myTablethen I get:1 Bank info2 ?????And in Application it is also coming like: "????"What is wrong ? Do I have to do some additional installation staff forChinese in SQL Server ?Any idea will be helpful and greatly appreciated
How come the fonts available in Visual Studio Reporting Services is different from the ones in Word? I need add some embedded commands to a report and in order for the receiving application to be able to interpret these commands they need to be in Courier (stupid I know).
How can I achive this? Is there some way to add new fonts to VS?
Because I have two fields separated by line feed (chr(10)), I need to format the first field as bold. Obviously, that Format(...,"Bold") does not work. Anybody has came across this before, please enlighten.
Seems like a long shot, but I'd really like to show "CO2" (chemical formula for carbon dioxide) with the "2" as a subscript, in a report text box. The "CO2" would be embedded as part of a sentence, e.g. "The CO2 emissions..." Is there any way to do this?
I'm using a free barcode font so i can create scannable tickets via reporting services 2k5. When I print the tickets, everything seems fine. But when i export to PDF though, it looks like the barcode font shrunk. All the lines are pulled together, making scanning impossible. Is there a certain setting or so that i can use to ensure the font's width ?
-Update- The weird thing is: when i export it inside visual studio, the barcode is shown as it is supposed to in the pdf !?
I just have a simple question on font dependencies in reference to deployed reports. In my company, we run citrix presentation servers feeding terminal sessions out to users in remote areas.
My question is, in a terminal session, do the fonts used in the reports need to be installed on the users' local machine (who is connecting via terminal session) or is it enough to just have it on the servers feeding out the terminal session?
For example, we create a report with Arial Narrow font. Our servers hosting citrix presentation server did not have this font installed, so we installed this font on the servers (thus they're displaying correctly). Obviously the server hosting our reporting services has the font. Now a user connects to the server, is granted a terminal session, launches reporting services, report is generated with the correct font displayed, and finally prints the report.
Will the report print in Arial Narrow if the users' local machine doesn't have this font install? I remember reading somewhere that the fonts do not embed, hence the reason for installing the font on our citrix servers.
I realize this is kinda out of the scope of this forum, but perhaps someone on here uses terminal services and can answer this for me. I do plan to test this out when I get home tonight. I'd test it right now, but my computer at home isn't on therefore I can't remote home (plus wake-on-lan isn't configured) to do an actual test. Just thought I'd get some insights from other people.
I have a table detail where i need to merge the information on two columns. The difficult thing is, the 2nd column must have a different font size when i render the report. Also the merging of the two columns should not generate a space between the contents of both columns. I have done concatenation using the '&', the only problem is the data in the second column inherits the font size of the first column. I have used textboxes, but it generates spaces if the data in the first column contains lesser characters.
I'd like to find where can I change the fonttype for annotations done in Control Flow. I mean, every time that I do that appears the one I chose by default TIA
I'm trying to figure out how to insert a special character that will make the values in the column BOLD when I use that table as reference in my Word Mailmerge. For starters, I was able to insert char(10) as carriage return, so when I use the values from that table in my mailmerge, the char(10) is effective, meaning, the carriage returrn is working, but how about making the font bold? Please help.
Example is:
insert into table(customer_address) values ("123 hayworth drive" + char(10) + "new land grove" + char(10) + "chicago" + char(10))
This value when used in a Word Mailmerge, will be displayed as: 123 hayworth drive new land grove chicago
Now, how do I insert a special character for bold font?
I used two symbols (”¬€¬ and ”´) in my reporting services page and they appear fine in Internet Explorer. However, when I try to export the page to a PDF file, they appear as question marks.
Can someone tell me why or how to work around this?
I'm using Reporting Service to print checks. Everything seems ok when I design and deploy and view the reports. But when I try to export to pdf, the MICR font I'm using does not work. I've tried a couple of different MICR fonts from the web and they either get replaced by a standard font or disappear altogether. I would love to know why that is.
I want to set properties such as font family, font size, etc as high as possble in the report.
Is it possible to have textbox fonts inherited from a container like a list, or report?
Currently it seems I need to set fonts on every textbox.
Similarly, when I use report designer to put a textbox on a report, the textbox decides the Font is Normal, Arial, 10pt, Normal. Where is this setting stored?
I am trying to store RichTexBox information, such as the formating of the paragraph, color, font and etc. Is that possible to store this kind of information in Sql Server 2005 Compact Edition without stripping down the properties one by one?
I am trying to store a sentence which contain of multiple color or font for different words. Is there anyway to store those information?
Is it possible to dynamically set the font weight (bold vs normal) for a matrix row label? I always get an invalid value message box from the expression editor. For example:
Any change or bug in SSIS 2012 which doesn't allow you to change the font colour of an annotation. I am able to change the font type,size and style just not the colour. I have migrated packages from 2008R2 with colour and when placed into 2012 they show as black although when I check the setting they still indicate they are set to the particular colour.
I am running SSIS 2012 version 11.0.5058.0 in Visual Studion 2010 shell Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1 with MS .NET Framework Version 4.5.51641 SP1.
Is it possible to setup different font size when a user is browsing or printing a report?
I have a lot of data to print on a report and i need tu use a font size of 7pt which is fine for printing but when the user is looking at the report on the browser a font size of 7pt is a bit too small and the bold doesn't work.
we use a 3of9 barcode font (TrueType). It works fine with Visual Studio, but when the report is run on the server, the font's width is false (2 times larger, but the correct height...).
We've test different font (barcode or not) and the problem occurs with all True Type fonts but not the True Type Outlines fonts... (and we not find any True Type Outlines barcode font)

I installed Postscript fonts on my local machine and they show up in the font dropdown for Office applications, but when I open a report in Visual Studio 2005 report designer, the Postscript fonts do not display in the font dropdown. How do I get the new fonts to be accessible in the report designer?
