How to register new font?

[jmastajam]

Hi everyone,

I need some help with configuring my JasperServer to recognize a new font (MICR to print account number/route number on a check)

I've read that in order to have the PDF exporter recognize a new font, I have to register it by specifying where the TTF (true type font) file or the directory is so the iText engine can load it. My understanding is that this can be accomplish by either setting the system properties (at run time) or by the jasperreports.properties

However, what I read is from the Definitive Guide to Jasper Reports. It doesn't look like JasperServer setting is similar.

Has anyone done something like this before? Please help if you can. I'm pretty stuck.

 

thanks

Ok I figured this out, following up just for FYI sake.

1. jar your TTF file.

2. Include the jar file as an external jar into your project (I'm using eclipse)

3. In the report template, set the PDF font to the name of the TTF file. For example: pdfFontName="MICR.ttf"4. isPdfEmbedded ="false"

Oh I guess I posted this thread in the wrong forum. It should be on JasperReport instead. :)
