Font '’Arial’' is not available to the JVM

[kiran.lokesh487]

Hi all,

I am strugling to add the new fonts that i want to use in my reports. I am using jasper reports 4.7.1.

I have searched a lot online for a proper solution. Nothing seems to work for me.

I also made a new jar file through ireport having all he required ttf files. with appropriate xml ofcourse.

here is my jasperreports_extension.properties file and also my fonts.xml...

pls let me know where i am going wrong. thanks in advance

Did you add the JAR generated and exported from iReport to the classpath?

[kiran.lokesh487]

s i did.. its still not working

Hi,

Did you get any error stacktrace while running your app?

The fonts.xml file appears to be malformed, containing the unbalanced [fontFamilies] tag at the top of the file. Try to edit the xml and remove the duplicate [fontFamilies] tag.

Regards,

sanda

I've been stuggling myself with setting the fonts the right way, and stumbled upon the same error when trying to create a PDF files from eclipse.

I ended up adding an external jar for each of the fonts (without the xml or properties files) and put the in the classpath (WEB-INF/lib) - arial.jar, timesNewRoman.jar etc.

In the jrxml files each of the text elements contained the attribute pdfFontName that specified the .ttf file to be used,  for example pdfFontName="arial.ttf" without a specified path.

Hope that helps you or anyone else struggling to figure out the whole fonts issue (-:
