Hi

I have a dashboard running on Kibana 5.0.1 on RHEL 6 and when running the Reporting wizard and exporting to PDF any writing in the report is mangled as per the example below:

I have read the pre-requisites and have both the libfontconfig and libfreetype6 libraries installed, so not sure what is wrong.

Hmm, those are the required libraries. Are you seeing any errors? Are any of the fonts showing up?
