Hi. I'm working with JasperStudio v6.1.0 and trying to create reports that have Kurdish text. I'm not Kurdish and my Kurdish linguistic knowledge is minor but I'll try to explain the problem: The text in the Preview is correct but in the exported PDF the text becomes different. To be more precise, some characters, like ێ are in the Preview written differently, which is OK, but in exported PDF look like that if written alone and look different when are part of a word. The text is in static text control like this: <font fontName="Arial" size="14"/> The font settings are: net.sf.jasperreports.default.font.name=Arialnet.sf.jasperreports.default.font.size=10net.sf.jasperreports.default.pdf.font.name=Arialnet.sf.jasperreports.default.pdf.encoding=Cp1256net.sf.jasperreports.default.pdf.embedded=false For default.pdf.encoding also tryed with Identity-H but without success. Arial font obtained from the Windows 8.1 PC is embedded in the ...fonts.jar. Any thoughts?
