How to change where fonts are located?

2003-03-17 06:13

Hi,

 

I have developed a Web-based reporting render engine with JasperReports, and I have found that the fonts and the graphics must be in the directory where my app-server was started.

 

I would like to know how to configure JasperReports to get these files from my 'favourite' directory. Here goes a bit of the code in the 'service' method of a servlet:

 

Map parameters = new HashMap();

if ((reportName!=null) && (reportName.equals(""))) {

parameters.put("ReportTitle",reportName);

}

 

parameters.put("BaseDir", reportDirectory + System.getProperty("file.separator"));

 

byte[] bytes;

try {

bytes =

JasperRunManager.runReportToPdf(

reportDirectory

+ System.getProperty("file.separator")

+ reportFile

+ ".jasper",

parameters,

new JRXmlDataSource(xmlDataSource));

} catch (JRException e) {

throw new ServletException(e);

} catch (CustomException e) {

throw new ServletException(e);

}

 

Anybody can help me? Thanks in advance

Diego

Hi,

 

The TTF files can be placed in the classpath.

This is how the samples work.

 

I hope this helps.
