2004 IR Help Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 By: MonkeyJoe - monkeyjoe Different font in a single text field 2004-06-18 11:41 How do I have different font types in a single text field? For example, say a String of "book - <italic>lord of the ring</italic>" where the title of the book is in italic while the String "book" is not. This whole is dynamically generated. Thanks m By: C-Box - c-box RE: Different font in a single text field 2004-06-18 13:28 look at the "styled text" sample that comes with the latest release of JasperReports (0.5.3) or at JasperReports Homepage (there the sample is also online) hth C-Box By: MonkeyJoe - monkeyjoe RE: Different font in a single text field 2004-06-18 15:20 thanks, C-Box. By: MonkeyJoe - monkeyjoe RE: Different font in a single text field 2004-06-22 12:33 C-Box, thanks again. I digged into it and was able to solve this challenge. But came across another issue. Here is my Textfield expression: $F{Title} + " <style size="8" isItalic="true" pdfFontName="Helvetica-BoldOblique">" + $F{ExternalNote} + "</style>" I got this error when there is a '&' character in the Title field. The value of this particular title field is "Research & Evaluation". [Fatal Error] :1:23: The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference. Any advice to over come this? m By: C-Box - c-box RE: Different font in a single text field 2004-06-22 13:00 Well I remember having read another thread concerning that topic. It's because of the special meaning of the sign "&" within XML-files... when I remember right you have to replace it with "&" but I don't know exactly... just search the JasperReports forum for it, I know that the solution is somewhere in a thread. hth C-Box By: MonkeyJoe - monkeyjoe RE: Different font in a single text field 2004-06-22 14:44 Thanks again.
