i am using Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.LocalReport to generate some PDF, everything works like a charm, but now evil marketing wants to use a custom font (they are using such crazy arguments as "corporate identity" and stuff).
i already goggled around and now i know that
but it still doesn't work. i belief that RDLC does not support this feature, does anybody know if this is the case? unfortunately i cant use Server-side reports cause i am lacking a Reporting Server.

To embed the fonts that are not already embedded, go to File > Print. Bring up the Adobe PDF settings and properties, then Adobe PDF settings. Embed your font. Edit the default settings and navigate to Font, click the Embed all fonts option.
Embed fonts in a document or presentation Open the file you want to embed fonts in. On the application (PowerPoint or Word) menu, select Preferences. In the dialog box, under Output and Sharing, select Save. Under Font Embedding, select Embed fonts in the file.
Embedding font’s works with Microsoft Reporting 2010 or later the following restrictions still apply
You may experience the problem that your Font is getting embedded but your PDF still displays text in Arial. This happened to me after i installed some new fonts on a Windows Server 2008 R2, restarting the AppPool (ASP.NET MVC) did not solve this Problem, a Server restart was needed.
