Barcode Font can not be converted into PDF format

Hi All,
I installed one truetype fonts "Bar Code 39" in my PC under folder
c:\windows\fonts. I used this font for bar code print purpose. It can work
perfect if I print the report direct to printer, or export it into
TIFF/EXCEL format. However, if i want to convert the report into PDF file,
then I could not find the bar code in the PDF file.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.
LukeTry installing the font on the server as well.

c:\windows\fonts in the reporting server side.

>>|||You must have the font on the server to support rendering the
report correctly - sometimes, after you put a new font on a server,
you need to both:
= OPEN the font from the fonts control panel AND
= REBOOT the server before it 'knows' about the new font.
Reporting Services does not embed fonts in PDF files (which is a
great
lack).
Anyone viewing the report must have the same fonts you designed it
with, or you will see some font substitution.|||Reporting service does not embed fonts. So you need fonts on every
computer that the PDF is going to open.
