I am working with report caster and compound reports that format output as PDF files. I have discovered an oddity and want to open discussion regarding it.. On some of the rows in the report I Bold and Italicize the row to make them stand out as totals.

If I run the report locally it formats as written and all is ok

if i run it in report caster as an attachment it loses the bold and the italics, to compound my confusion if I run it in report caster and as a zip file it formats perfectly .

Anyone else encounter this ? could it possibly be the font? TREBUCHET MS if anyones interested and the endefly.sty stylesheet


or maybe im just asking too much ;-)

I just tested something like this in 8.1.05 and both Scheduled and live reports show the bold/italics. What version are you running?

Hi Geoff,

Does this happen consistently for all compound reports? Have you tried running a report using a sample dataset such as the one that Babak posted above? This might help narrow down the problem.
