jasper.properties not read?

[greylimbo]

I have tried to get my eclipse project to read the "jasper.properties" file and therefore find the .ttf files but it never seems to be reading the "jasper.properties" file. I am battling to get it to set the default folder for the fonts i want use. I have been able to add the .ttf files to my classpath and then it runs perfectly, unsure as to if my "jasper.properties" file is ever read? I am running subreports and using jasperreports-x.x.x-javaflow.jar to improve the performance, but how do I check to see that "net.sf.jasperreports.subreport.runner.factory=net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRContinuationSubrepo rtRunnerFactory"

 

is even being implemented? any assistance is most welcome.

Are you sure you placed that properties file in classpath? If you are running a web application, place the "jasper.properties" in WEB-INF/classes directory.

The properties file is definately in the classpath. It is just a java application, the problem is that if i place the .ttf files into the classpath then the exporter finds them and its all happy. But if i set "net.sf.jasperreports.export.pdf.fontdir.jasper=../fonts" in the properties file and move the .ttf files into the fonts directory i get this error message:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRRuntimeException: Could not load the following font :

I have looked at other posts that deal with this issue and i still cannot get it to work?

[greylimbo]

bytes = JRLoader.loadBytesFromLocation(pdfFont.getPdfFontName(), classLoader, urlHandlerFactory);

this is where the app bombs out,

Code:

classLoader and 

Code:

[code]urlHandlerFactory

are both null, is this correct?

 

Surely if the properties files is in the classpath and is being read I dont have to hard code

Code:

[code]JRProperties.PDF_FONT_DIRS_PREFIX
