Chinese char not displaying in jasper report pdf

[devendragoleit_1]

Hi,

  I am trying to display Chinese character in jasper report as a pdf file. but it is not diaplaying in pdf format.

Also, i added iTextAsian Jar and font but still i am getting below exception: 

net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRRuntimeException: Could not load the following font : 

pdfFontName   : Helvetica

pdfEncoding   : Identity-H

isPdfEmbedded : false

That's probably because Helvetica doesn't contain Chinese characters. Specify a font that contains Chinese characters.

Thanks for your support.

 

I tried STSong-Light font also. And both font works when i click on preview in IReport and generate PDF.

 

But when i am calling from Java then i am getting above exception.

 

Also, I added extension of font into Application class path that i have created from IReport

Hello Team,

I got the solution and issue resolved..

There are following things that we have to change:-

1>  We have to set following property from Java:

  a:         JRProperties.setProperty("net.sf.jasperreports.default.pdf.font.name","ARIALUNI_0.TTF");

  b:        JRProperties.setProperty("net.sf.jasperreports.default.pdf.encoding", "Identity-H");

 

2> We have to remove all the pdffontname tag in JRXML. 

3> Set JPR and JWS encoding property to 'UTF-8'.

1. download and use Arial Unicode font jar - https://community.jaspersoft.com/sites/default/files/files/Report24775-eastAsian.zip

2. add this jar in 2 places - 

a) webapps-jasperserver-WEBINF-lib (add here) 

b) in Ireport u need to add in classpath. (tools-options-classpath)

3.set font name as "Arial Unicode MS" and keep same property set in ur xml 

 

<font fontName="Arial Unicode MS" size="12" isBold="true" pdfFontName="Arial Unicode MS" pdfEncoding="Identity-H" isPdfEmbedded="true"/>

 

4. restart ur jasperserver.

5. restart ur ireport.
