Update
Thanks to everyone for your patience as we continue to work through font related issues on Report Studio. As you may appreciate, it is often tedious work to identify and fix all font conversion issues for the 16 fonts that Report Studio currently supports. We have addressed many of the glaring items but are continuing to test and correct less commonly encountered problems. We are keeping this status open until we are confident that we've comprehensively addressed the reported issues and ask that you please continue to report font related problems if they are encountered with support@tapclicks.com so we can get them addressed.
