Created attachment 261445 [details] The non working rptdesign In my Birt report (blank one with a single label containing the string "Test"), I'm trying to use a new font for a label. That font was not bundled with Windows, so I installed it manually on my system. As soon as I change the font of my label to this specific one, the PDF generation is broken: my browser gives me that error instead of displaying the PDF: > "Caractères non autorisés dans un nom. Local\EWH-4196-0" which I can translate in english to: > "Unauthorized character in a name. Local\EWH-4196-0" The number in the message always change at each PDF generation. If I generate it to a PDF and try to open it with Adobe Acrobat Reader, I've got that message: > Une erreur est survenue lors de l'ouverture de ce document. Une erreur est survenue à la lecture de ce document (129). which in english is: > There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document(129) I've tested to make Word export to PDF a .docx containing "Test" with this font and got no problem to open it with Adobe Reader. I will attach the `.rptdesign` & the problematic font. This bugzilla was suggested by Clement Wong after opening a [question on Stackoverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36220511/defining-a-font-on-a-label-breaks-pdf-generation) and a [question on Birt dev forum](http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/index.php?/topic/39080-defining-a-font-on-a-label-breaks-pdf-generation/).
Created attachment 261446 [details] The problematic font
I've tried to create my own PDF emitter handling PDF/A like proposed in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=362282#c2 (after consulting http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/259539/) without any success (still have the same Adobe Reader 129 error).
