Jasper reports and missing fonts

[baerwester]

our application uses jasper 3.7.1 on windows. At one or our installations, reports don't print and in the log we find

Font 'Arial' is not available to the JVM. See the Javadoc for more details.

This is only happening at one installation.

We get them on the air with the ignore missing fonts property, but we agree that that is not really a good solution.

We find in the file system: c:\windows\fonts\arial.ttf which leads us to conclude that arial is or should be available.

We want our application to be standard across all of our installations. A font extension package doesn't seem like the answer as all of our other installations can find arial without a font extension. Also, we prefer not to modiy the jrxmls to resolve a situation at one installation as the jrxmls work at all of our other installations

Can anybody suggest what we might look at?

Thanks for any ideas, suggestions or insights

hi,

 

i faced the same problem last week when we migrated from Jasper reports 1.2.x to 4.5.1.

 

Following links might help solve this:

At last we have decided that we will install the missing font on linux (JVM) .

 

 

Install font “Arial” on Linux:

====================

Step1:Check whether font "Arial" is already installed on the box :
==============================================================
log in with any user name and type the following command :
fc-list | grep Arial
if found no need to install the font.
Step2:Install the font "Arial" if not available on the box:
=======================================================
1)log in as root
2)move to /usr/share/fonts and create a folder with name as "truetype".
3)copy the font file "Arial.ttf" (found in windows/fonts on WinXp) into the folder "truetype".
4)run the command following command to see whether the font is installed properly
fc-list | grep Arial
 

 

Thanks,

Chinnu

Thanks for replying. However our application runs in windows, not unix/ linux. We hope for help with a windows solution

Font 'Arial' is not available to the JVM. See the Javadoc for more details
