Possible Style Attribute Bug

[redwine]

For some reason, the formatting expected from isBold and isItalic don't work in the textField or the staticText elements when a report is generated in PDF.

However isUnderline works in both of them.

 

Bug discovered by rclarke88.

Refer to the following thread:

Different format of text within a single paragraph - 2007/04/18 11:22 http://www.jasperforge.org/index.php?option=com_joomlaboard&Itemid=215&func=view&id=24036&catid=9

 

Tested on iReport versions 1.3.1 and 1.3.3

 

Current workaround: use pdfFontName attribute

 

Some of the attribute values that can be used used with pdfFontName:

pdfFontName Indicates the name of the font to use if the report is exported to PDF. Courier, Courier-Bold, Courier-BoldOblique, Courier-Oblique, Helvetica, Helvetica Bold, Helvetica BoldOblique, Helvetica Oblique, Times-Roman, Times-Bold, Times-BoldItalic, Times-Italic, Symbol, ZapfDingbats Source: JasperReports for Java Developers 2006 Packt Publishing page 121

 

 

Just note that the formatting will only be seen in a pdf document.

 

 

If you plan to display your report on the web (I have not done this yet), I'm thinking you should use a different attribute.

 

I will need to post this bug that you found so the developers could fix it.

I didn't realize that this attribute didn't work.

I'll give you a thumbs up for your discovery.

Cool?

Do tell me how it goes, ok?
