Just a shot in the dark. Did you restart CF services after installing the font? In most cases, that fixed the issue of the font not showing up. You can try restarting the machine, although I'm unsure if that would have an effect.
A few people told me that they couldn't get it working w/ the font I specified, but found an alternate source for the font that worked. I suspect you can find an alternate source by googling. The reason the font shows up in a 'normal' CFM page is because the font is properly installed on the surfing machine. When you tested it on the dev server, did you also surf that page from the dev server? Lastly, did you try FlashPaper? FlashPaper always embeds fonts. If it doesn't work there, then something is wrong w/ the font installation. If it does, I'm out of ideas. > I'm having a problem using barcodes on a pdf created with Coldfusion's > Report Builder.
