  In ExportPack\frxTrueTypeCollection.pas, replace ChecksumFaultAction_Warn with ChecksumFaultAction_IgnoreChecksum:
  
  Line 124:

        f := TrueTypeFont.Create( Pointer(FD), Pointer(FD), ChecksumFaultAction_IgnoreChecksum);
  

  
  Line 143:

              f := TrueTypeFont.Create(FD, subfont_ptr, ChecksumFaultAction_IgnoreChecksum);

  We have FastReport 6 and I cannot find the file you mention. I only see frxTrueTypeCollection.dcu and frxTrueTypeCollection.hpp.
  Is this still a valid solution? Or are there other solutions now?
  Made a nice report with Ubuntu and Roboto fonts, but cannot export to PDF now...

  This is solution for FR's editions with sources (FR Professional or Enterprise). Try to use latest FR 6.2.3 and use AddIgnoreChecksum('Roboto Cn');

  Thanks for the tip. We've just installed FR 6.2.5, but I don't see that method.
  On which object do I need to call this? I've got a TfrxReport and a TfrxPDFExport object.
  Note: I'm a little bit new to Fast Report, got the code from a experienced colleague. But he also doesn't know how to fix this particular error.

  Little kick. Does someone know where I can find

  AddIgnoreChecksum('Roboto Cn');
  

  On which object do I need to call this? I've got a TfrxReport and a TfrxPDFExport object in my code.

  Thanks! :-)
  After some tinkering on TfrxReport and TfrxPDFExport, I tried

  frxTrueTypeFont.AddIgnoreChecksum
  

  and found out it's in there.
  I even found out I could just call

  AddIgnoreChecksum('Roboto')
  

  Now it works without pressing a button multiple times to ignore the exception.
  
  Last questions, to learn even more: how do you know this? Is there a manual where this somewhat documented?
