evank Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 This solution may have been suggested in previous posts, but the PDF font problem seems to come up frequently so I think it is worth repeating. In order for PDF fonts to appear the same under Windows and Linux, you must have the same TrueType fonts available to the Java JRE when a report is generated. To install the fonts on a Linux system: 1. Download the msttcorefonts package from http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ 2. Extract the .ttf files and move them into the $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/fonts directory. The fonts should now be available to iReport and/or JasperReports. These two steps were all that was required to resolve our problems on a red hat (RHEL4) system. Some distributions (such as Ubuntu) may already have the corefonts package installed and do not run into this issue. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfradkin Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I have an issue with an odd A in front of my dollar sign.I did get the ttl files and put in the jre/lib/fonts folder but it did not help. Redhat AS4 any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
