PDF rendering: Characters overlap in Verdana

On some of our RS machines the Verdana font doesn't render correctly in PDF
format, there is no spacing between the letters (all at the same location).
Other fonts like Arial render correctly. Is this a known issue? sp1 has been
installed (I know there were some issues with this before service pack 1).

Software DesignerEnsure Verdana is on the server box as well as the development
computers.
Then, on the server, use the Fonts control panel to open all Verdana
font files. Then reboot the server.
This helped us with similar problem - hope it works for you!|||Thanks for your reply. This doesn't solve our problems however. Any other
suggestions?
Was it the first time you rebooted the server after installings sp1?

Sounds like your problem may lie elsewhere - other things to try would
be ensuring you are using Acrobat Reader 7, or simply not using the
problematic font (kludgy, I know...)|||We use Arial Narrow and ever since we went to a W2K3 box everything exports
correctly, except for PDF which substitutes Helvetica or something with weird
spacing. Did you ever get it fixed?
