I typed in column names such as "តំបន់", "ភេទ", "ចំនួន" in Khmer Unicode as translation of "Continent", "Gender", "Count".  
It displays as expected in Canvas preview but it did not render correctly in the report. I suspect that could be from the server without pre-installed Khmer Unicode font. (hypothetically)

Thank in advance for any tips!

This is exactly right! As [documented here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/reporting-troubleshooting.html#reporting-troubleshooting-text-incorrect), Kibana does not ship with any fonts loaded for the view used to generate reports. You will need the sysadmin to install the correct system fonts on the Kibana server with support for the unicode characters that you need.
