Alliance ITWindows Server 2008 – Terminal Server Fonts Print Incorrect
Recently encountered an issue when printing from a Windows 2008 terminal server (remote desktop) where fonts were incorrect. Times New Roman would change to a sick looking arial, and other fonts would print as garbage. Client was connecting from a Windows XP computer. Here are the details of the resolution.
This issue has been fixed in a QFE released post .Net 3.0 SP1.
To get the fix, please install these versions of .Net
1. Uninstall .Net 3.5 if installed
2. Install .Net 3.0 SP2
3. Install .Net 3.0 SP2 QFE KB946411
Please note: .Net 3.5 will not contain this QFE. You would explicitly need
.Net 3.0 + QFE for this issue to be fixed.
The KB article at MS doesn’t contain the download, they want you to call them for the hotfix, or you can get it here

I uninstalled .net 3.5 and then installed this hotfix on a workstation, had him test, issue resolved.WQ
Thanks! The best solution in the Internet! Many speaks about incompatible drivers and printers, but that is it! I got it working with my Windows XP client and W2k8 server
