How to create and use a reportFont ?

2005-01-27 06:09

I'm writing a compiler which translates a PowerBuilder datawindow in a JasperDesign.

 

To do this i use the classes in net.sf.jasperreports.engine.design to create a JasperDesign.

 

Then I compile it using jrCompiler.compileReport(jasperDesign);

 

Finally I save it to XML using JRXmlWriter.writeReport(jasperReport,destXMLFile,"ISO-8859-1");

 

 

I have a problem with the reportFonts.

 

I try to reuse a limited set of reportFonts created as JRDesignReportFont but when I save the XML file, all the textFileds use a specific font :

 

<textElement textAlignment="Right">

<font fontName="Arial" size="8" isBold="true" isItalic="false"/>

</textElement>

 

instead of a reportFont like :

 

<textElement textAlignment="Right">

<font reportFont="Arial8Bold"/>

</textElement>

 

BTW, the report font is created correctly :

 

<reportFont name="Arial8Bold" isDefault="false" fontName="Arial" size="8" isBold="true" isItalic="false" isUnderline="false" isStrikeThrough="false" pdfFontName="Helvetica" pdfEncoding="Cp1252" isPdfEmbedded="false"/>

 

How should I create my JRDesignReportFont so that they reuse the report fonts ?

 

Thanks in advance !

The reports I am generating also have similar issue but due to other more urgent things I was not able to experiment with it. Any tips or hits are welcome.
