You are probably going to need a software change, either a Delphi version bump or QR change.

From http://www.quickreport.co.uk/ProductInfo.aspx

QuickReport and Unicode
Programmers working in RAD studio 6 or 7 have a default unicode string type, so code written using these IDEs can be made unicode compatible. QR5042 has been adapted to take advantage of this and reports with unicode are supported. In earlier versions of Delphi and C++Builder, QR502 has two extra controls that support the wide character format, which can store UTF-16. The PDF functionality in Quickreport Pro does not use Unicode. We recommend developers needing this to purchase additional software from Gnostice

you don't have that font on the pc you are printing with

if you want to print something, in a certain font, then minimally you need that specific font
