Errors when work with Font and Unicode!!!

2003-02-06 02:20

Hi all,

I have some troubles and raise them here:

1) When I set the pdfFontName="Courier", it's OK. But when I change it to "Arial", the compilation returns error(it's sure that I have Arial font on my machine which runs Win2000 Pro):

dori.jasper.engine.JRException: Could not load font from location : Arial

 

at dori.jasper.engine.export.JRPdfExporter.exportText(JRPdfExporter.java:1006)

 

at dori.jasper.engine.export.JRPdfExporter.exportPage(JRPdfExporter.java:346)

 

at dori.jasper.engine.export.JRPdfExporter.exportReportToStream(JRPdfExporter.java:295)

 

I think that we must do something to insert font Arial into somewhere. But I don't know how. So, please help me.

 

2) Suppose that I use font Courier and insert some unicode text to the title of the report, I also get in stuck with it. The error mesage is similar to the above one. I see that if I change pdfEncoding from "Identity-H" to "Cp125x" or "Unixx-yyyy-z", the error is removed but I just receive the character '?' instead of expected unicode character.

How can I resolve this?

Thanks for any help,

Tam Nguyen.

I also examine the examples of Teodord about Font and Unicode and I can't run them successfully. The error message is the same to mine.

Hi Cesar and everyone,

I did as Cesar guided and fixed the problem. But I wonder one thing: When do we need to use Cp125x and when we use Identity-H? What are the differences between them?

Thanks,

Tamnguyen
