Report objects that are not displayed Instead of displaying the objects that are listed in the following table, the viewer replaces the object with a text object that is the same size and contains the text "<object> not supported".

As a result, reports where you have a multi-line text object next to which you have placed other objects to align them vertically, may not appear correctly. The difference in line height also leads to sections taking up more vertical space, which means that some reports are paginated differently. When a report uses a font that is not found on the machine, the viewer substitutes a font from the machine (if no matching font can be found, the viewer defaults to Arial). This action may lead to text measurements that are not the same. Chart appearance Charts may appear differently in the viewer. However, the general layout and overall meaning of the chart will not change. There are a few specific differences that you might notice: · Axis labels that were moved manually are moved to their default positions. · 2D charts are automatically arranged to create an attractively formatted chart. This sometimes leads to differences in label settings and frame size so that labels won't overlap. [. . . ] Side panel buttons in the toolbar have a black background on some versions of Linux.
