var report = new Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport();
var fontFileContent = Stimulsoft.System.IO.File.getFile("../reports/Roboto-Black.ttf", true);
var resource = new Stimulsoft.Report.Dictionary.StiResource(
"Roboto-Black", "Roboto-Black", false,
Stimulsoft.Report.Dictionary.StiResourceType.FontTtf, fontFileContent);
report.dictionary.resources.add(resource);
var dataText = new Stimulsoft.Report.Components.StiText();
dataText.font = new Stimulsoft.System.Drawing.Font("Roboto-Black");
report.pages.getByIndex(0).components.add(dataText);StiResource of type FontTtf. Once in the dictionary it travels with the report, so text using that font renders and exports correctly even where the font is not installed.
