Hello everyone, I've been strugling with a pdf i have to generate in greek. As you may immagine not every font has greek letters so I had to embbed my own in the project and this is where my issu began. I'm developing for an OSGI environment so I tried to add my generated jar from jasperSoft studio into the application classpath, once I've wasted many hours trying to make it work I found this post on stack overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57918748/how-to-programmatically-load-font-extension-at-runtime The important part is that we could create a Jasper context of our own and add the font there: SimpleJasperReportsContext jasperReportsContext = new SimpleJasperReportsContext();SimpleFontFamily fontFamily = new SimpleFontFamily(jasperReportsContext);fontFamily.setName("family name");//to be used in reports as fontNamefontFamily.setPdfEmbedded(true);fontFamily.setPdfEncoding("Identity-H");SimpleFontFace regular = new SimpleFontFace(jasperReportsContext);regular.setTtf("font ttf path");fontFamily.setNormalFace(regular);jasperReportsContext.setExtensions(FontFamily.class, Arrays.asList(fontFamily));//use the context when filling and exporting reports//note that there are variations here depending on the API you use for filling and exportingJasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.getInstance(jasperReportsContext).fill(jasperReport, params);...JasperExportManager.getInstance(jasperReportsContext).exportToPdf(jasperPrint);[/code]This seemed a good path to follow but now i'm not entirely sure it's possible to add a font in runtime. Inside the jasperReports I've found the method used to fill the report: /** * @see #fill(InputStream, Map, JRDataSource) */ public static JasperPrint fillReport( InputStream inputStream, Map<String,Object> parameters, JRDataSource dataSource ) throws JRException { return getDefaultInstance().fill(inputStream, parameters, dataSource); }[/code]Which means that it will alway ignore my custom instance with my jasperReportContext and will create a new one with it's default context. Having said all that, I would like to know if there is any wsay to achive my goal of registering a font (ttf) programatically / in run time Best Regards
