Help for Style in iReport

[xchen]

Hi folks,

I am having an issue when applying the style iReport. The issue is like this: if I apply the style to Text Field, it works, but if I apply the style to Static Text, it doesn't work, but instead, the old proprties still applies!

Any hint is highly appreciated.

Are you embedding the <style> tags or are you setting the font properties using the ireport controls? ie

Attention <style pdfFontName="Helvetica-Bold">Customers</style>

will print "Customers" in Helvetice-Bold regardless of the iReport font settings used to print Attention.

ensure you have the "Is styled text" setting checked.

Note also that "MS Windows" fonts are slightly astray from other platforms.

luck

Chen,

 

The quickest solution (well, workaround) is to right-click the static text field and choose Transform to -> Text Field.

I am not sure if I follow you. In my case, I created a few styles in the Style Library, then drag and drop them onto the static box. The colors in front and background didn't change at all.  I don't mean to change the style in the jrxml file manually. Could this be a bug of iReport?

 

Thanks.

Sounds like a solution.
