How to "embed" fonts using JRPrintServiceExporter

[mreis]

Hi,

 

we'd like to use the JRPrintServiceExporter functionality in order to directly print a jasper report on a network printer. Following the corresponding sample code everything works out fine, except for some parts/texts with special fonts that are obviously not known to the printer (by default).

When we produce a PDF from the report everything works fine and the PDF can be printed correctly.

Is there a way to tell the JRPrintServiceExporter to somehow "embed"/use the fonts that are embedded in the PDF version of the report or is it possible to produce PDF and then print it (using javax.print or similar)?

 

many thanks & kind regards,

Markus
