Using a custom font with Birt reports

Troubleshooting

If you are using a custom font - one that does not come standard with your operating system - you may find that it will not appear correctly in your Birt reports - either in the viewer or in the printed output

Symptom

You install and utilize a Custom font, such as Carlito, which is not standard with your operating system, yet in your output you notice that the print is not using your font.
