External TTF Font in JasperReports

[papaswede]

I'm using an external TTF font in my report, and when previewing the report in iReport all looks good, but when generating the font in the web app (running on Grails), I get the following exception:

Caused by: net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRRuntimeException: Could not load the following font :
pdfFontName   : VLADIMIR.TTF
pdfEncoding   : Cp1252
isPdfEmbedded : true

I have made sure that the TTF file is on the classpath, but it is still not working. Does anyone have any ideas about what I could be doing wrong?

 

Thanks!

help?

 

I still have the issue and the more we have to share the better we can understand how to set up ou embedded fonts the classpath and how to get from a server to a client.

Emil,

 

I would check again the classpath. Also, I would actually try package up the TTF in a font extension JAR and thus simplify the report templates as the pdfXXX attributes would become redundant in JRXML, if you use font extensions.

 

Tom,

 

I have replied you on the other thread.

 

Thank you,

Teodor
