BIRT 3.7 not show unicode characters [message #775165]

I have deployed BIRT 3.7.1 reports on a Redhat Linux production server in a birt-viewer directory and the problem is that not all unicode characters are displayed, and after failure the left report is blank. Reports are developed on a windows xp x64 machine and I have copied all windows fonts to the linux machine but still the same problem.
Any ideas?
Edit: Forgot to mention that I try to generate pdf, html is ok.

Where did you put the fonts on the Linux box?

Hi Jason,
I put them to /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType/ and then rebuild font cache fc-cache -f -v but still no luck

You can change these but you will have to unjar/rejar it:

or use a system property:

The problem was, that we used sans-serif font on the reports. Fixed it changing font to Arial.
