I'm using vb.net to generate my report (reportviewer)
When I browse in IE, everything display correctly. But when I print my report, the font printed out different from the one display on computer screen. Totally different font type and no spacing in between font.
I tried to change the font type in RDLC, but still cannot resolve this issues.
It is highly appreciated if someone can give me some advise how to resolve this problem.
This is a known problem and it took a long time for the Reporting Services and Dynamics NAV developers to investigate
and dissect the root cause to a Windows Remote Desktop Protocol issue.
There are 2 solutions available:
1. Upgrade the VB2010 host machine to Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012.
2. Install the Windows Remote Desktop hotfix from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2768741 for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008R2 OS.
