Install Arial Unicode Ms Font Windows Server 2008
Transformers revenge of the fallen. TF2 - it's weird, Steve said they didn't have enough time for this score, but the end result is in my opinion pretty spectacular. The choir work and the vocals by Lisbeth Scott are breathtaking. Not only the best TF score, but one of the best action scores from MV/RC. In my opinion, of course.
Seems I have quite the odd problem with viewing text. All of a sudden, all the text on sites viewed in FireFox were bold. At first I thought this was an issue with FireFox, but this is apparently affecting Internet Explorer as well, and even more troubling, the time stamp in Windows Media Player is italic. The time-stamp on YouTube is also italic, while everything else on that site is bold.
This problem isn't that consistent neither. I logged onto Fronter, which my school uses as a way to notify their students about homework, etc, in FireFox and it was displayed in bold, while the exact same site was italic in Internet Explorer. Filenames, shortcuts and most other things related to the OS are also normal.
I really have no idea what the problem is, as it happened all of a sudden in the middle of browsing the Internet. Is it Java? If so, how do I fix it?
I have a Toshiba Equium A200 laptop with Vista Home Premium 32bit, Intel Pentium Dual-core and 2 GB RAM.
Any help would be appreciated!

- install 'East Asian language support' on the server
- use a Unicode font in CR: Arial Unicode MS
- install this font on the server
With these changes, the reports were correctly generated on WS2003. Now, we are moving to Windows Server 2008 x64 and we experience the same issue : chinese or japanese text are not correctly displayed (we have little squares instead).
We did not changed the reports (we installed the same application version). On the server WS2008, we installed (to test) the Chinese language pack (which should be the equivalent of the opration done on WS2003).
Does anyone have an idea of what might be the cause, or what to do next?

We finally found the solution.
Under Windows Server 2008, some fonts are hidden. The fact is: if a font is installed but hidden, you cannot use it.. Moreover, 'show' or 'hide' a font is user dependent..
What we did on WS 2008 was:
- install the Arial Unicode MS font
- show the font for the user that runs the ASP.Net application (the identity of the AppPool)
Installation of language packs is not required. Just 'enable' the font used in the reports.
The only thing that upset me is: how do we do that (enable the font) if we cannot connect on the server as the user of the AppPool?
