Question:

During my work with JasperReports Library I have got the error:

net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRFontNotFoundException: Font 'Calibri' is not available to the JVM. See the Javadoc for more details.

Answer:

I would suggest that you should check the sample, that shows how to work

with font extensions, that is supplied with the product .

This sample (shipped with the JasperReports project distribution package under the

/demo/samples/fonts) contains jrxml report, configuration

files and ttf fonts that should be embedded to the pdf document.

Below I quote the link to the information from which you can start

(JasperReports Ultimate Guide v3.7 - Page 294 / SIMPLE FONT EXTENSION TUTORIAL):

The link below from the internet would be also helpful regarding this topic:

You can generate a font extension file automatically in iReport and JasperSoft Studio.

For iReport, the latest version that is available in the Support Portal:

iReport Ultimate Guide/8.2 Using TrueType Fonts/Page 126

- install the font in iReport (tools -> options -> fonts -> 'Install Font'')

- generate a font extension jar file (tools -> options -> fonts -> 'Export as extension')

- add the generated font extension jar file as a resource to the report

You can also generate this file with the similar steps in JasperSoft Studio.

Font extension file should be placed in the

lib folder to make it available to your application.

P.S.:

You can download both aforementioned documents
