When I attempt to run the report in the report viewer component, all the text gets combined into a single character space.

Here is what it looks like from the preview in the designer.

Has anyone seen an issue like this or do I need to bring it to tech support?

Thanks!

There seems like some report module black magic going on here, but I am very happy to see the data again. Thank you!

It's just that not all fonts implement everything they should. 🤷‍♂️
