My results are different. In the VS Development enviroment the trademark
character shows up properly with no changes in formatting when I export to
PDF. However, when I run the report from Report Manager and export to PDF,
then the character shows up but the formatting changes to full-justification
with lines truncated. This is with standard Arial font and Reader 6. I
tested with Reader 7 on another machine with the same results. Thanks for
responses.

I don't believe it to be a font issue because even when testing the report
locally in my Visual Studio Development enviroment with a reporting services
project I get the characters to show up when I export to TIFF or in Web
Archive, but they don't show up when exporting to PDF. This is all on my
local PC before I am even deploying the reports to the Report Service.
