TTF and isStretchWithOverflow

2003-03-31 23:08

Hello Teodord,

 

I use a chinese ttf font called ming_uni.ttf for dsiplay content in textfield:

 

<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" pattern="" isBlankWhenNull="true" evaluationTime="Now" hyperlinkType="None" > <reportElement

 

mode="Transparent"

 

x="116"

 

y="0"

 

width="140"

 

height="14"

 

forecolor="#000000"

 

backcolor="#FFFFFF"

 

positionType="Float"

 

isPrintRepeatedValues="true"

 

isRemoveLineWhenBlank="false"

 

isPrintInFirstWholeBand="false"

 

isPrintWhenDetailOverflows="false"/>

 

<textElement textAlignment="Left" verticalAlignment="Top" lineSpacing="Single">

 

<font fontName="/usr/local/fonts/ming_uni.ttf" pdfFontName="/usr/local/fonts/ming_uni.ttf" size="12" isBold="false" isItalic="false" isUnderline="false" isPdfEmbedded ="false" pdfEncoding ="Identity-H" isStrikeThrough="false" />

 

</textElement>

 

<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[$F{vr_skill}]]></textFieldExpression>

 

</textField>

 

 

The problem is the textfield will not strength when the text is not long enough, but the isStretchWithOverflow attribute is set to true. I have to increase the textfield's width to show the last few characters. It seems that jasperreports doesn't know the real text length.
