Bold fonts + PDF

[henryedsl]

Hello!

I have created a JasperReports report with the bold fonts in the iReport. The PDF preview in the iReport is OK, but when i export to PDF in my application, all font properties get lost and the text looks like plain text.

This is what i tried to do with no success:

1. Using iReport, i made sure that all the fonts i used in my report have been defined in iReport. I went to Tools -> Options -> iReport -> Fonts, and installed Verdana, which is one of the fonts i'm using. When installing this font, i made sure to check "Embed this font in PDF document" checkbox.

2. Once all the fonts were installed, i selected all the fonts i used in my report and then clicked the “Export as extension” button to create a jar file.

3. Finally i added the created jar file to the classpath of my application, at this point i thought i was done :(

But, after doing all this and runnind my application, i realized that the problem was still there, and the worst part is that i don't know what else to do. Am i missing something? What do i have to do so that bold fonts show properly in PDFs exported from my application?


Some additional data:
I have OpenSuSe as OS. I have attached three documents so that you can see the good report, the bad report, and the window where i installed the trutype fonts. I'm using iReport 3.7.2


Thanks in advance for your time and help.

Best regards...

Ohh excuse me, the last attched file should have been "installing arial" :)

I just realized that i'm getting an error in tomcat logs, i attached the file with the error.

I guess it has to do with the fact that i added my jar file generated with iReport to the classpath of my application.

I forgot the attached file with the error.

By the way, i attach the jar file i added to my application, in case it helps.

I also have to say that i packaged up my font extension in a separate JAR.
