Answer 1

When using fonts with PDFsharp, make sure the font is a TrueType font (not a PostScript font).

Also make sure you write the font name correctly - as shown by the Font applet of Windows or as shown by Word.

You can use a private font collection to use fonts that are not installed on the computer. This should solve your "problem" with Windows Server 2008. Use the WPF build of PDFsharp.

The PDFsharp source package includes a full working sample that uses private fonts.
