Deploying Report with Fonts

dtanaka · October 4, 2014

Hello,

Having some issues with fonts and deployment, I am new to Jasper. This seems to be a recurring issue in the question, but I have been trying several things and cannot get it to work. If someone could help I would appreciate it. Have a simple report.

JasperSoft Studio CE 5.6.1
Jasper Server 5.6.0 CE
Using a true type font "HelveticaNeueLTCom-Th.ttf”.
First Windows JasperStudio to linux Jasper report Server.
Then Linux JasperStudio to linux Jasper report Server.

It’s my company’s chosen font. So I first deployed my report of course it did not work. So after investigating.

Added the font to JasperStudio.
selected with PDF Font Name helvetica and blank.
Then exported the newly imported true type font in to a jar.
Then I logged into JasperStudio and added a font to the report.
Then ran the report in JasperReport Server through a web browser.
1. Did not work
2. IT used veranda
3. But in the xml view it showed using the new font
Next I read the .jar needed to be in the Classpath. So Copied the Jar to
1. `/usr/share/apache-tomcat-7.0.54/webapps/jasperserver/WEB-INF/lib’
Tried again no go.
Then tried to copy the jar to
1. ‘/opt/jaspersoftstudio-5.6.1.final/features/jre.linux.gtk.x86_64.feature_1.7.0.u67/jre/lib/HelveticaFontFamily.jar'
2. That did not work either.
Next I tried to add a style as well.
I also tried move JasperStudio from Windows 8 to Linux Centos 6 still same.

I don’t get it, looks fine in studio, but when I deploy it Jasper Report Server it does not work. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I added the .jar to a folder I called Report Resources/Fonts and then added a reference to that .jar to my report unit. Then in JS Studio, the added font should appear in the Font dropdown above the 'line' (in with SansSerif and DejaVu etc)....that seems to be same as what you've done so maybe try with a reference instead of the font (downside is you'd have to add it to every project).

One thing I did note is you have the isBold check set to true but your "HelveticaNeueLTCom-Th.ttf" is added to the regular field (so your bold field is null). I assume you have the bold/italic/bold-italic ttf files as well though?

Hi Thanks for the reply,

That what I tried first and that and it did not work (mainly because it seemed the path of least resistance). Anyway, I think I have found the root cause, I did not see any errors so I did not look at the logs duh.. Anyway it seems there is an issue with my fonts.xml file. When I figure it out I will give an update.
