iReport export pdf fonts Problem i need to help me Please

[markos.giwrgoss]

I have problem to show the greek characters in my Pdf file when I do the export from the JasperViewer. I'm using version 4.5.0 and UTF-8.

When I'm trying to install fonts, I choose .tff and this error appears: Unable to file the file: null.

Please help me as fast as you can,
thanks

The best and the fastest way to get this resolved is to version up to Jaspersoft Studio 6.2.1 and use font extensions.

Thank you very much. It works but some of the greek characters are missing (eg "Δ,Ω"). Can  you help me with that?

Dear Serhatcelik

I've already done theese steps (user hozawa told me the same) but now the problem is that some of the characters are missing....

before that none of the greek characters were showing and now few are off (eg "Δ,Ω...")

Have you got any idea why?

Thanks!

Markos,

Please try to set Pdf Encoding as CP1253(Greek) for all fields&labels in field&label properties and please let me know if it helps you.

[markos.giwrgoss]

No, it didn't work.
theese are the two images, one from the preview and one after saving it:

I solved my Turkish character problem with below steps;

1. https://serhatcelik.wordpress.com/2015/11/18/how-to-solve-font-problem-for-pdf-reports-in-ireport-and-spagobi/

2. Setting Pdf Encoding as CP1254(Turkish) for all fields&labels in field&label properties

Unfortunately, I don't have further information.

Do you think that working on IMAC might be the problem?

[serhatcelik]

I don't have any experience on IMAC but it might be. Steps that I said work successfully on Windows OS.

The guidelines here. Where the fonts can be copied from windows with

copy C:WindowsFontsariali.ttf .[/code]

and also adding the line 

<pdfEncoding><![CDATA[Cp1253]]></pdfEncoding>

before

<!-- Is font is embedded in PDF --><pdfEmbedded><![CDATA[true]]></pdfEmbedded>

in fontfamilies.xml

did the trick for jasper jar 6.5.1

To fix the bug "Unable to file the file: null", copy the font file (for example, arial.ttf) to NetBeans installation folder and rename it to "null".
