PDF export - Dynamic text overflows in horizontal way

[aude.allouard]

Hello,

I have a problem when I export in PDF format, a report made by Jasper report Studio. The dynamic text which is very long overflows of a cell.

My configuration is the following : 

<frame borderSplitType="NoBorders">

<reportElement positionType="Float" x="0" y="312" width="555" height="26" uuid="bb96afb9-23ab-4e41-a40f-5c35ef30a977">

</textElement>

<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{observations}]]></textFieldExpression>

</textField>

</frame>

 

The PDF export results is the following :

 

The text is correctly stretched in vertical way but it overflows in the horizontal way. Moreover, when I change the "left Indent" parameter of the text field from 4 to 0, the text does'nt overflow in horizontal way but the end of the text is missing.

Have you already encountered this problem ? Please I need help.

I solve my problem thanks to this post.

http://community.jaspersoft.com/wiki/why-my-text-not-displayed-correctly-pdf

The font that I used was "DejaVu Sans" and this font didn't exist in the JVM. So I create a new font in JasperStudio which also exist in the JVM.
