We have several reports that use custom barcode fonts, and these have been
working happily for ages.

We have recently deployed our reports to a sql2008 instance and have hit a
big problem.

The Report Previews correctly in Reporting services (i.e. the user sees the
barcode)
The report previews AND prints correctly in VS2008.

but...

When we print from Reporting services the barcodes font is not displayed
(gibbersish characters are displayed instead).

We have checked that the users all have the barcode fonts installed locally.
We have also installed the barcode fonts on the Reports Server (although
this should not be neccesary).

I have even tried printing the report from the Reports Server itself, but it
still will not print the barcode font.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks

This problem was resolved by a simple reboot of the system.
I shouldn't habve been required, but there you go.
