sql server reporting services : Problem with Symbols while exporting to PDF

Unfortunately I could not reproduce the issue with the following steps on
SP1:

1. Create a report with a textbox and use the following expression for the
textbox value: =Chr(216)
2. Preview the report and export it to pdf
3. View the pdf file

Are you using a different font or RTM version of Reporting Services,
perhaps? If you could send me detailed steps to reproduce, I'll follow up.
Also, note that Abobe does not support some characters in some fonts.

Hi,

I am using a symbol(Character code: 216) of Wingdings font, it displays fine
in ReportPreview .

But when I export the same to PDF, it shows me some weird Symbol.

Sometimes it does not display some symbols or special characters in PDF

This happens in some other fonts also

It's very important that I get those symbols in PDF

Can anyone help me with this
