jasper report doesn't support check mark??

[jasperbox]

Does iReport support check mark character? I tried to put the value '/u0033' in the text field as suggested when I googled. However, it didn't work. I tried to put the image but didn't show up too. Any ideas or workarounds?

thanks so much!!

Hi,

Just 3 observations here.

The unicode notation should ever start with a backslash: \

Try with this UTF-8 char code: \u2713

Choose a true type font which supports the check mark symbol

Hope this helps,

Hi sanda,

In iReport Designer, I put the static text properties \u2713, and what should the true type font be? I tried different ones but still doesn't show the check mark.

Thanks again!!

Here they are:

The Deja Vu family is already available in JR.

thanks sanda. I tried again by selecting font 'DejaVu Sans'  and text property \u2713, but it displays \u2713 instead of check mark. I wonder if the highlighted part is correct.

 

            <staticText>
                <reportElement x="464" y="0" width="100" height="20"/>
                <textElement>
                    <font fontName="DejaVu Sans" />
                </textElement>
                <text><![CDATA[\u2713]]></text>
            </staticText>

Hi,

The <staticText> is the problem. Put the unicode text in a <textField> element, in order to get it processed.

Hope this helps,

1.Using text field and insert "u2714" unicode or

2. Add Photo and give this on backend, FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRealPath("/images/image.jpg"); ,then create a parameter put in to image expression

Hi Sanda,

I have similar issue, gone through all over google but found you are the one who has answered this issue.

this might be basic what im asking you. in your response you have suggested to use unicode test in place of <textField> element. there is no textfield element i can find there.

Could you please put your above suggestion in sample code snippet please. May be you can modify this code and suggest us.

 <staticText>
                <reportElement x="464" y="0" width="100" height="20"/>
                <textElement>
                    <font fontName="DejaVu Sans" />
                </textElement>
                <text><![CDATA[\u2713]]></text>
            </staticText>

Thanks & Regards
