how to specify the fonts in the xml file

2002-05-16 01:04

"<reportFont name="Courier_New" isDefault="false" fontName="Courier New Bold" isBold="true" pdfFontName="courbd.ttf" pdfEncoding="Identity-H" isPdfEmbedded="true"/>"

 

This is my report font. When the xx.jasper is executed in the tomcat, it throws file not found exception. can anyone suggest how to look for the fonts.

 

Thanks

shivva..

Hi,

 

iText needs to know exactly the location of

the font file on disk.

 

If you don't know or if you are not sure what is

the current path when running tomcat, then you

should better specify the absolute path on disk

to the font file in the pdfFontName attribute.

 

This is how iText works. I don't know if there

are new possibilities in the new versions.

 

Good luck!

Teodor
