Display Unicode with TTC font using JR

2003-04-10 02:24

Does JasperReport support to use TTC font (i.e MSGothic.ttc) to display Japanese (Unicode) in Pdf-report ?? If I'd like to generate a Pdf-report in Japanese with JasperReport (and design with iReport tool), what should i do? Any other way ?

 

I'm trying to use msgothic.ttc font with the pdfencoding BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, but the following exception thrown out (even though i already copy that ttc font to my current project directory):

Looking forward any ideas from you.

I already make a test to generate a PDF file (with Japanese characters displayed) using iText library directly (use msgothic.ttc). The test runs well. I dont know why i couldn't do with JasperReport. Any settings need more ?

I suppose you have mapped the font inside the collection "msgothic.ttc,0".

Dear Paulo Soares, thank you very much. I've just tried to do as what you say which i used to think that it might be not a correct syntax (adding "msgothic.ttc,0" in xml report file), but that's great that my problem are solved.

Thanx again for your supporting idea,

TranNguyen
