Exporting Japanese characters to PDF

When I export my report containing Japanese characters to PDF, the Japanese
text gets translated to a string of question marks ("? ? ? ?"). Yet the
Japanese characters display just fine in Visual Studio Preview, or when I
export the report to Excel, or when I execute the report's stored proc in
Query Analyzer. Is this a bug in the PDF translator?i have the same problem.help!

its PDF reports. (Probably, to avoid copyright violation issues
arising from redistributing fonts along with documents.) When
displaying such documents, Acrobat is tailored to substitute fonts,
based on fonts' characteristics, not name. If no match is found, it
uses some generic font, and, if that font doesn't contain the
characters used in the document, guess what it is going to display?
Right, a bunch of question marks...

somewhat like Arial on export to PDF or printing. Although in IE font is
displayed well.
I experimented with preinstalled Windows fonts like Blackadder ITC and Curlz
MT and got the same.
I have Reporting Services with SP 2. My font is installed on server.

non-unicode programs (PDF), see the following url:
