Spurious "-" character

2004-05-11 10:51

 

I am using jasperreports 0.5.2 for a report, under Windows 2000 Professional. I have part of the detail of a report that is :

 

<textField isBlankWhenNull="true" isStretchWithOverflow="true">

<reportElement x="398" y="0" width="34" height="8"/>

<textElement textAlignment="Right" lineSpacing="Single">

<font reportFont="Serif_Normal" size="6"/>

</textElement>

<textFieldExpression>new DecimalFormat("#,##0.00").format($F{Claim}.doubleValue())</textFieldExpression>

</textField>

 

When generating a pdf report the text in the field overflows but the data is truncated and partly replaced by a "-" character.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions.
