Hi, I've noticed that when I transfer my properly designed reports to a Linux environment, the calculation of space needed for certain textfields breaks (or at least behaves differently). Following situation: The report is developed on a Windows XP machine and all necessary fonts (Arial, Arial-Bold) etc are embedded into the document. Under XP it all works fine. When I now fill the same report with the same data under Linux (headless mode) it may happen that some text fields are truncated or not displayed at all. It seems that under Linux the measurement of needed space is different. It especially applies for bold text or large font sizes (> 16pt). (Dissatisfying) workarounds: For bold fonts - uncheck the checkbox in iReport that marks a textfield as bold but embed the bold font (e.g. Arial_bold.ttf) nonetheless, so it will be displayed correctly in the PDF but not in iReport. Large font sizes - increase the height of the text field over the needed size (regarding the result under Windows). After some tweaking (usually after adding 10% more height) the text will appear. You see, JR seems to have some problems with text measurement. It would be very nice if this could be fixed because it's not a surprise of the good sort if you suddenly realize that parts of your report are missing. Thanks in advance! Regards

How do I generate these kind of dynamic data. From my java passing the values to Jasper Report in Hashmap.You have to supply some kind of data source, either an instance of e.g. JRBeanArrayDataSource or a database connection. A report will not show up if it isn't provided with some RESULTS from your DATASOURCE. AFAIK just passing values in a hashmap won't work. But you should be able to read that up in the (sketchy) Jasper documentation. Regards

Hi, this is a cross-post from the iReport forum because this issue can only be tackled by the Jasper developers: I would like to have borders (aka "pen") that are thinner than "Thin", which produces the thinnes borders up to now. Is it possible to include that into your code? Thanks in advance! Regards

Hi, You may be able to change the size of the border by editing the source itself. (see Edit->XmlSource...)Well, the XML DTD states that the border (aka "pen") can only have the following values and "Thin" is already the thinnest option. So this issue can only be tackled by the Jasper developers. Code:pen (None | Thin | 1Point | 2Point | 4Point | Dotted) #IMPLIEDAnd to my second issue -- it was my fault :whistle: now the lines look fine but are still too thick Regards

Hi *, I would like to know if it's somehow possible to create borders of e.g. text fields that are thinner than the thinnest selectable border width i.e. "thin". And I observerd that horizontal lines are often thicker than horizontal lines (up to two or three times thicker) even if they all have the same thickness setting. Thanks in advance! Regards, Nils.
