Description M. Kassens CLA 2011-08-30 11:57:13 EDT 
I got some strange behavior from birt 3.7. Perhaps different versions have some problem but didn't tested.
When I create a Report in doc-Format with a font like Bitstream Vera Sans or own Font the document didn't use the correct font. Word shows the correct font in quotation marks but not using it. If I use Fonts like Arial or Papyrus, there is no problem. Also birt use the correct font, when i create the same report in pdf.
at least i know where's the different between the fonts.
Fonts in the TrueType-flavoured OpenType-format works, but real True Type Fonts get the quotation marks and aren't used. 

Copied out of the .doc:
wrong part:   <w:rFonts w:ascii="&#34;Bitstream Vera Sans&#34;" w:fareast="&#34;Bitstream Vera Sans&#34;" w:h-ansi="&#34;Bitstream Vera Sans&#34;" w:cs="&#34;Bitstream Vera Sans&#34;"/>
correct part: <w:rFonts w:ascii="Papyrus" w:fareast="Papyrus" w:h-ansi="Papyrus" w:cs="Papyrus"/>

I have got the same error too.

The Version is : 3.7
OS: Have tried on Windows XP and Windows 7

When generating a report in doc format certain fonts are not applied. They are shown within quotes mark in the font type drop down box in microsoft word.

However the same report that is generated in PDF works well. The font that I have tested is Aller Light and Aller Bold.

I tried the font Bitstream Vera Sans and didn't see the wrong part you mentioned.
Could you provide more detail information or attach a sample report I can test with?
