Hello everyone

I am using Document Composer for the first time. I am trying to add various text elements with different fonts and background colors.
Font shows up fine in the development canvas but when I see the PDF output, its not that font.

Can anyone post an example with some font styles and background colors for the same?

Thank you.

I am using WF 8.2.04 and I can not reproduce your issue. I change the font on the canvas and run it and the different fonts display properly. It may be a bug in 8.2.01 I suggest you open a case with techsupport

Please try below code. Not every font works. They may need to be installed on reporting server to work.

You are right Papyrus did not display correctly at run time, it looked fine in the document composer. Better open a case to report this.
