Characters replaced by squares

Hi!
When running a report in our production environment we get squares instead
of characters. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening?Are there controls characters in the data you are displaying...? In some
instances if you have a carraige return, line feed, tab or something else
along those lines they'll be displayed as a square... In most cases in html
they're escaped the browser, considered white space, try exporting your
report to another format like PDF or Excel and see how the squares show up.

The squares also appears in the drop down lists when selecting report
parameters. What font is Reporting Services using in those drop downs?
