I wanted to use a report I had made in iReports 4.0.0 to iReports 4.6.0 I saved the report to a new name but iReport could not re-open it - gives the uuid error. I then set the file compatibility to 4.5 and closed the options dialog and saved again - this worked. My question is: I cannot use this file again except with this compatibility mode - I would have to start again from scratch or edit the jrxml outside of iReport to remove the uuid?

I vote to go all the way to Java 6. A major version upgrade for sure for JR. And while you are at it ensure that it works with the likes of current OS such as Win7 and MAc osX etc

Andrei, Any response? Did you bundle two files according to the sample in the latest 3.6.0 demo/fonts folder into a jar and have the jar file on the classpath of the "application executing the jasperreport"? Can you upload the jar file or the two files (properties and the xml) to review? You can also answer on the other forum...

Did you ever solve your issue? Does http://jasperforge.org/plugins/espforum/view.php?group_id=102&forumid=103&topicid=59436&topid=59532 help? I still have the issue and the more we have to share the better we can understand how to set up ou embedded fonts the classpath and how to get from a server to a client.

Am I to understand that we have to specify embedded pdf fonts as font extensions in order for a report to work? In my case I have a client executing a report but the report runs on a server so it means that I have to bundle font extensions into a jar and download them to the client machine so that they can be provided to the viewer that runs on the clinet machine? The pdf embedded fonts are specified as normal fonts (ttf) on a server in the classpath of the code executing on the server but still get the message that the fonts cannot be found.

I am getting similar issue. I migrated a report done in 3.5.1 and now using 3.5.2 of the iReport. No detail band in 3.5.2 (called detail 1) is printed but other bands ok and in fact the column footer has the total of a calculated sum correctly. Even more curious is that in iReport IDE the report is ok - detail band is there. When I run from another application and pass in the paramters etc, they get passed ok (they can be printed on the column or page foot ok) but no detail page. Is there something I should be setting that is not there but is present in the IDE?

Thanks, I had done as you suggested but it did not work ...until I exited iReports then re-started it. In Win XP I set an environmental variable CLASSPATH to the directories that I want to have fonts searched by iReports. I had assumed that iReports 3.5.0 had a similar scheme to the classic verison of setting the claspath and font path internally - that was why I asked the question.

I am running the ireports 3.5.0 (and now the 3.5.1) as a stand alone app. I do not seem to be able to find the right place to set up the classpath for other fonts. What am I missing here?

This is a follow on to tmy other issue for which I have some solution. My main goal is to take the value of an Integer (1 or 0) and show with the checked ballot box or the unchecked ballot box respectivly. I had hoped there was a way to do this simply. However I can only think of creating a variabl;e which is assigned the unicode value dependent on the equality: ( $V{test_Integer1}.intValue( ) == 1 ? $V{checkbox} : $V{uncheckbox} ) where $V(checkbox) is a String with a value "u2611" (backslash u 2 6 1 1) and $V(uncheckbox) is a String with a value "u2610" (backslash u 2 6 1 0) This is fine for a small number of variables like this but when one has over 200 in the database - gets tedious! ANY efficiency hints are of course welcomed!

I have a solution that I think will work. On another web site I found a reference to fonts that support the Miscellaneous unicode block (2600 and above). See http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/block/miscellaneous_symbols/fontsupport.htm While this is a little out of date it did prompt me to try out the DejaVu Sans font that comes with iReport. Now the ballot box shows properly. Som eof the other DejaVu fonts work and some don't - just the luck of the draw I guess? Now onto the next issue!

More info: I use a variable to store the string: "u2611" (backslash u 2 6 1 1) I then place the variable on the iReport and then seledt it to edit properties. I selected Lucida Sans Unicode since this is the only font to have this unicode in it. I always get the hollow box and never any other symbol.

I am using Arial in the font chooser but I do not see Arial Unicode. I checked the font path and all the iReport font paths are there. If I need to get this font how do I get that? USing Xp Sp3

I thought I had got it correct but nope: The unicode for the checkbox (or ballot box) is u2611 u2611 and the unchecked u2610 u2610 However in the iReport when I run the viewer all I get is the hoolwo box. I even tried u2612, u2613 and 2614 all give the same result the hollow box. Where do I set up the unicode set to use? IS there a display problem using the UTF-8? Any ideas? I thought this was straight forward but I seem to be missing some link. Yes I know about the font path set up and the class path setup but neither seem to be affecting the result. IS this a known bug? Using iReports 3.0.0, Java 1.6.0_11

Always use $P!{parameter_name}. The exclamation provides the correct string interpretation.

IS there a way to have text double underlined? I see the single underline attribute for text but not a double underline. Rather than a hack at workaround by creating a line and placing it underneath the text is there another way or is this feature not yet available? Zero forum response to the search.
