PDF Font Not DIsplaying Bold

[robsil]

I have a text field that is showing a disclaimer at the bottom.  The word "Disclaimer:" is bolded but the rest of the text is not.  I use a style tag with rtf markup to achieve this.  When I show in jasper, it is bolded fine but when I export to PDF it dissapears.  I have seen similar issues but am not clear on how to resolve this.  How can I configure it so that my PDF shows the word(s) I desire bolded using the <style> approach?

 

Sample text field:

"<style isBold="true" >DISCLAIMER: </style>This report is confidential.  <style isBold="true" >Do not share. </style>  If found, please destroy."

 

My desired report font is Calibri 10 Italicized.

if you would like to use style tags, you should be using html field instead of a text field. Note: jasperserver does not support html fields anymore.

try to use html field with expression "<b>DISCLAIMER:</b> This report is confidential. <b> Do not share. </b> If found, please destroy."

Reportdev that did not work... when I export to PDF (even from within JasperStudio).  The bold text is still not bolded.

[reportdev]

can you post your jrxml here

and also try reset the workspace properties especially the Default PDF Encodng

Not sure how you're specifying your font but I just added Calibri as a font extension to Jaspersoft Studio and used <div style='font-family:calibri'> to specify the font and I'm getting Bold in my PDF. Most of the time, this happens when the font doesn't contain "bold" glyphs. I just downloaded Calibri from Font Palace.

Hozawa that helped a little... my calibri font is now working, but I do not seem to see Arial on those sites.  Do you know why I would see Calibri but not Arial?

 

Thx,

Rob
