To export to pdf on Linux using the iTextSharp back end you must have mscore fonts package installed.
ubuntu and debian:
- ttf-mscorefonts-installer
Fedora:
- msttcore-fonts - you need to add a 3rd party repository?
MS core fonts will not install in Debian Wheezy x64:

From: https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/ttf-mscorefonts-installer
NOTE: the package fonts-liberation contains free variants of the Times, Arial and Courier fonts. It's better to use those instead unless you specifically need one of the other fonts from this package.
fonts-liberation fonts have same metrics as Times, Arial and Courier. So maybe they can used, they are installed usually in Debian.
