Fonts width calculation error !!!

[ifcwlme]

If a textfield have many character, almost clost to the boundry of the textfield. It will stretch to consume more one line. But it is not necessary to use two lines.

So, in my report, some lines are double spaced in line height. How can I solve this problem ?

Can anyone help ?

Thanks

When I make the sample file. I found that the problem only happen in Linux. I copy the same testing code to Windows. It works.

Do you know how can I fix this ?

Thanks

I've found solution to this problem.

It is because the fonts used to fill report is different with fonts used to export PDF. Although the pdfFontName is deprecated, But iText use it actually.

I have to make sure JVM have install my fonts used in my report. And use FontMap to map the fonts when export pdf.

Hi,

 

FONT_MAP is also deprecated these days. Please upgrade to a recent JR version and make use of font extension JARs, like the one that you can build from the /demo/fonts folder of the JR project, or download from the JR download page.

 

I hope this helps.

Hi Teodor,

 

I'm currently using an older version of JR (3.1.2), and have exactly the same problem too. Now if update my lib to jasperreports 3.7.1 (using maven), should I additionally add a dependancy for the jasperreports-fonts-3.7.1?

 

And also, i need some hints regarding updating to 3.7.1:

right now I have some jrxml-files which was created using IReports 3.0.0. Do I have to recreate all the jrxml files using IReports 3.7.1, in order for these to be compilable using the 3.7.1-library? Or is there any better way to do this?

Thanks a lot

 Try to register the same TTF fonts in the target JVM. The problem will be solved by doing this.
