prabhu_mannu Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 hi allthis question is more related to font and licensing issues than technical issues related to using Japanese fonts. some history: last time i touched ireports and jasper reports was around 4 years back, it was the first and last time i did some changes to the report.Currently, i have a task of modification those old reports plus adding some additional details to those reports. Back then i used ireport 2.x and jasper lib 3.1 and itext 2.0.8 with itextasian lib. now when i tried to convert these old reports i ran into the font issues. most of the reports uses HeiseiMin-W3 and HeiseiKakuGo-W5 with encoding UniJIS-UCS2-H (Japanese). so i need to know i am doing the right thing or not.1- So basically i need these two fonts in my class path [i figured out from the lots of other post that i should use the font- extension i.e, create the jar file using ireport under tools-options.]2- the fonts used in older reports HeiseiMin-W3 and HeiseiKakuGo-W5 are commerical fonts need to buy license to use them ? [this part i am not sure of, how does it works for older lib not the new ones ? ]3- after searching the internet i found that HeiseiMin-W3 and HeiseiKakuGo-W5 are available in otf fonts from adobe. [ i am currently in Singapore and adobe will not sell me these fonts cause of different country, tried asking my boss to order from japan] [ from the internet and jasper doc ttf and otf fonts are supported] as of now i left with a task which i have little knowledge of, esp when it comes to changes in ireports and jasper reports. And i donot know where to get these fonts to use although i am authorized to buy them for my company. given that these reports are bit old and my lack of knowledge , I am kinda flying blind. I would highly appreciate if any can point me towards the right direction. with regardsprabhu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
