Add Symbols and Super and Sub scripts to PDF or HTML reports

[fanoffederer]

Hi All,

First of all thanks a lot for such a wonderful Reporting Engine!!! I am lovin it

 

Getting used to it.. So far I am able to create simple reports, subreports, passing custom bean data sources..  in PDF and HTML.  However I want to add special scientific symbols to the report

e.g. Chemical Formulae H₂SO₄ and some greek/latin letters like alpha, beta etc.

I am storing it like this

ΣH₂SO₄

Which font or style to use so that it will print actual Sigma(in greek) on the page (either PDF or HTML) with superscript and subscripts

 

Please help!

Sujit

Hi Again!!

Got it working with some R&D.. if you are passing symbols to the report in HTML code (α , β etc) then do following to get symbols printed in the report

1) Field Markup = HTML

2) Field Font = any Deja Vu font (tried with Deja Vu Sans and Sans Serif)

Thanks
