Web-server – Installing a font on a web server for ASP.NET application

fontiis-6web-serverwindows-server-2003

I've just deployed an ASP.NET application onto a Windows 2003 web server. The application contains Crystal Reports. Some of the reports contain characters in WingDings2 font. When the report is generated those characters show in the standard font instead.

I copied the WingDings2 font to the web server, but it did not help. I restarted IIS also and that didn't help.

Any ideas? Thanks!

The report is rendered on the client browser, so unless you're rendering something like a PDF file which can contain embedded fonts, the font needs to be installed on the client computer.
