We have identified the FONT problem while exporting to PDF and resolved. As many are facing the above issue, let me provide the solution in detail. 1. Open ireport 2. Go to "Tools", select "Options" 3. ireport will open a page with "iReport", "general", "Editor", etc., 4. select "iReport", it will have "General", "classpath", "Fonts" etc., 5. select "Fonts" 6. It will list the following installed default fonts, "Dejavu Sans", "Dejavu Sans Mono", "Dejavu Serif", etc., 7. Also you can find "Install Fonts" button on the Right hand side 8. If you want to add any other Font other than from the above list, for example "verdana" then click on "Install fonts" 9. It is menu driven, "Browse" and select the Required Fonts from "Windows" ---> "Fonts" folder 10. Also select the BOLD and Italics fonts if required. with the above steps required fonts will get installed in ireport. 11. In ireport designer select the Text Field for which you want to specify the font(e.g Verdana) 12. Goto properties, select the property "Font name", choose the Font from the drop down list. It should list the alreasdy installed Font(Verdana) 13. Select the size,Bold, Italic etc., 14. Also choose "PDF Embedded" Compile and Preview. With this you are able to choose the required Font and its characteristics Bold, italic etc., 15. Now comes to configure JASPER for the required Fonts. JASPER has configured for the default Fonts as per point 6. We need to add the additional Fonts and follow the procedure described below. 16. Goto JASPER/jasperreports-4.0.2/dist, you will find a jar "jasperreports-fonts-4.0.2" 17. unjar/extract it 18. you will find net/sf/jasperreports/fonts/ with a folder for Fonts and and a fonts.xml file 19. edit the above xml file and add the required font 20. Also add the Required Font ttf in the above path or the path you define in the xml 21. jar it and deploy. That's all, with the above steps you will get the required fonts. You can reach me through mail at chidamparamm@yahoo.com for clarification on the above subject.

You mentioned that "Don't use the property pdfFontName. Use Font Extensions.", Can you explain about "Font Extensions". We are unable to understand your suggestion.

Select the field Go to the properties Choose the "Font Name" from the drop down list, say for example 'verdana' Go to "TOOLS", then "Options", , then "iReport", and then choose "Fonts" On the right hand side you will find "Install Fonts" by clicking this will take you to browse the required fonts, choose the font which you specified for the 'feild'. It will resolve wrapping problem.

Please try the following procedure: tools ---> Options -----> Fonts, then Instal Fonts and then choose the fonts
