Since reports are generated on the gateway, I suspect the problem is a missing font on the gateway. Or a font on the gateway that Ignition hasn’t been configured to use. (I’m not very good with font setup.)

Do you see anything in the server logs? Go to your gateway Status-\>Logs, try making a report, and see if anything regarding reports pops up. You may need to change logging levels for the reporting module though if this is not something the Module considers a error, and given you are at least able to produce a .pdf, it seems like might be necessary.

Phil is right here.

When you see empty boxes where characters should be, it’s because the font can’t display that character. If you’re using a current version of Ignition, we don’t include the CJK fonts by default because they are so large – see [this post](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/designer-doesnt-support-chinese-well/23281/5) for how to install them.
