SSRS - fonts are not emedded into pdf files

Question

I am using SSRS 2017 to generate reports, I've installed a new font to use with the reports but the font is getting embedded in all files types except the pdf files.

Here are the font details:

font details

When I try to download the report from the preview window in visual studio I get the pdf with the right font but when trying to download the same report from the report server I get the report with Sans Serif font

from priview window:

from report server:

I found some answers referring to the font embeddability but I tried another font with installable embeddability and I got the same problem

any idea how to embed the font with the pdf files?

I assume the font is installed on the SSRS server? Also, that does not look like SSRS 2008, you should update the tags to match what you are actually using. — Alan Schofield, Oct 18 '22 at 08:50
I am using my local machine as the SSRS server and I installed the font on my machine, and yes you're right I found out that the SSRS is SSRS 2017, not 2008, I've edited it — Merna Mustafa, Oct 18 '22 at 09:19

I've installed the font on my local machine, which I use as my SSRS server, but I found out that the server is running on the admin user while the font was installed for a non-admin user
problem is solved when I installed it for all windows users
