Embedding Courier New font to a pdf when using WebForms library

Question

I am unable to create a pdf document that uses 'Courier New' true-type font, using LocalReport class in Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms lib.

The pdf is generated with CourierStd, Type 1, font.

Is this a bug in the lib or am I missing a config? I will accept it if it embeds CourierNewPSMT, TrueType font, since I am after the correct font family and font type.

I have checked that

• this font exists in my System
• this issue does not happen when using Times New Roman
• this issue does not happen when using MS Word. (Embeds CourierNewPSMT, TrueType font)

I am using LocalReport class in Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=15.0.0.0

RDL Template:

<Style>
       <FontFamily>Courier New</FontFamily>
       <FontSize>26pt</FontSize>
    </Style>
