DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf
DejaVuSansMono.ttf
DejaVuSans.ttf

    Solve the problem with:

    wget http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/m/msttcorefonts/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.6_all.deb

#Dependence for dpkg 
apt-get install cabextract 

#Install fonts by dpkg
dpkg -i ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.6_all.deb

reboot

    After this the report works fine.
