Problem with font in PDF file

2005-08-04 01:05

I generate report in PDF format with True Type font from third party producer. Parameter isPdfEmbedded = "true". All work fine! But all lines in results report are little wider than I want.

I can not change font size because height of chars must be determined size. Can I change gaps between chars? And if I can then how?

Hi,

 

You are using the TTF file for the pdfFontName

attribute I assume.

Make sure that the TTF file is also available to the JVM

as an installed font and that is used by AWT when

during report filling where text measurements are made.

 

Does your report look the same when viewed with our

built-in JasperViewer and when viewed in PDF?

It should look the same.

 

There is no way for us to control the amount of space

between characters. It depends on the properties

of the font and we don not have access to modify that.

 

I hope this helps.

Teodor

Hi,

 

Font.createFont() should work.

Check the JavaDocs.

 

I hope this helps.

i have tried the font.createFont() but it does not work. If i give the full path of the font

e.g. c:/winnt/fonts/Arial.ttf in the <font> tag in jrxml file, it works fine even i dont use Font.createFont() any suggestion?
