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.

I have a web page deployed in server linux (Wheezy server version) and this web page generate a PDF file using a Arial font. I've looked at
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/
and there is no Arial font found there. Only:
DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf DejaVuSansMono.ttf DejaVuSans.ttf DejaVuSerif-Bold.ttf DejaVuSerif.ttf
