PDF format - Garbled Data

Hello,
I searched for a response from the already posted queries. But I could not
find an answer to the problem that I have.
I have a report that looks fine on the screen and also when exported to
Excel. But
when exported to PDF some textboxes display garbled data. It may be because
of some characters in those textboxes.
Looks like a lot of people have this problem since some time. (I saw a
question that was posted last year related to the same problem)
Is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks,
SangDo you use the right font (has glyphs for these characters)? Is the font
installed on client and server?

the field. If i render the report with different criteria, it comes out ok.
Im curious to see what characters are causing this. It renders perfectly in
HTML though. This is only a problem with the PDF export.

Double byte character set (DBCS) characters may fail to display correctly in a report exported to PDF format
