formatting issures using tables and mutiple matrixes

Hi. I have a report that pulls all info from a single dataset. However, one
field "type" contains either "a" or "b". I have two matrixes, One for the
description and count of type a and another for type b. I also have data
from the dataset that needs to be both before and after each matrix.
When i layout the tables and matrixes, I measure them EXACTLY next to each
other by adding the position of one item and the width of it to determin the
position of the next. Also put them all in a header of another table with
zero padding. I also make the cangrow and canshrink atrributes to false to
keep all my rows aligned.
No matter what I do, the report always comes out unaligned. I've tried
rectangles already and they didnt work either. sometimes the report will
break on the tables for x number of rows and break for the matrixes at y
number of rows.
Does anyone know how to make matrixes and tables line up side by side,
return the same number of rows per page (this hsould be a no brainer because
its getting its data from the same dataset and there are no forced breaks)
AND make sure all the rows are the same width to ensure what is really four
tables looks like one?
I can provied the rdl if anyone wants to see it.Sorry, forgot to mention. SQL2005, Reporting Services 2005

Formatting Issue

Hi

I am using Reporting Services 2005. I have deployed my reports on mutiple servers. It works fine. But on a specific server, when I deployed my reports, its formatting disturbed for a specific font. Wherever I have used Font:

Name: "Arial Narrow"

Size: 8pt

Style: Normal

Weight: Bold

Decoration: None

its size changed and disturbed the whole formatting. It is something related to server settings, but I dont know where to change the formatting to solve the issue. I have tried to change the system display resolution, but it didn't worked. I cant re install server as it is client's machine. It has "Microsoft Windows 2003 Server" installed on it. Please help me to solve the problem.

Looking for a quick response.

I have tried to install Arial Narrow Font on the server. It is installed successfully but the problem is still there. Can anyone help me out to solve the problem.

try to check ur issue in this file

ReportingServices.css its available in styles folder under reports folder in IIS or check out styles folder in reportserver folder in IIS

Did you find a solution to this problem?

I'm getting the exact same problem, in the exact same scenario: Deploying to a new Windows 2003 server (of which I don't have complete control) with my Arial Narrow 8pt fonts (normal and bold) being rendered incorrectly. One point: initially the server did not have Arial Narrow on it. I added the font and this improved the situation (arial narrow is being used) but it isn't being rendered like arial narrow should be. Lot's of spacing and padding around each letter, which themselves not looking like arial narrow. If I cut and paste the PDF content into another document (word or outlook) the text is pasted as arial narrow perfectly (not looking anything like the text appeared in the problematic PDF).

|||I am having similiar issues. I have complete access to the pc's displaying the reports and the servers running the reports. I am looking to use a font such as Trade Gothic (our company font) and I am trying to get it to render into the PDF. I have installed the font on all machines and servers involved in the report generation and no success to date. I can get it to show up as HTML output, because that is reliant on the machine to support the font, however when I export to a PDF it falls to the default Sans-Seriff font. Any ideas?|||You have to reboot the server after installing a new font.
|||After initially trying to just install the missing font (which did not work), installing the font and then rebooting the server did the trick! Thanks.
