Unicode problem with Omega

2004-05-11 13:55

Hi!

 

I need to display a greek uppercase Omega symbol as the unit Ohm for impedance.

 

To test my unicode I have also inserted the unicode value for the trademark symbol.

 

<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[$P{Impedance}+" Ohms u03A9 u2212"]]></textFieldExpression>

 

The unicode for the trademark symbol works fine when it is part of the impedance parameter but it doesnt work if it is in the concatenated section afterwards.

 

The omega symbol doesn work in either case.

 

The font used is

<reportFont name="Default" isDefault="false" fontName="SansSerif" size="10" isBold="false" isItalic="false" isUnderline="false" isStrikeThrough="false" pdfFontName="Helvetica" pdfEncoding="Cp1250" isPdfEmbedded="false"/>

 

If I use pdfEncoding="Identity-H" the compiler complains

dori.jasper.engine.JRException: Could not load the following font :

[java] pdfFontName : Helvetica

[java] pdfEncoding : Identity-H

[java] isPdfEmbedded : false

and so on

 

What is it that I am missing?

 

thx
