Change font size of displayed data

[dknutson]

I'm running jasperserver 3.7 and have created reports using iReports 3.6.  The reports are formated so they print well in PDF format.  Problem is, when I run the report from the server, the page initially loads as html and the font size is so small as to be unreadable.

What do I need to do to address this problem?  Is there a setting somewhere that will control the page and is this in jasperserver or in iReports?

Thanks!

We are also looking to solve this problem.

Has anyone found a solution to this?

 

Thanks,

The problem is likely this: you have specified a font in the report (perhaps unintentionally) that the server doesn't have access to. The JVM swaps in some other font to be able to render the report. But it's ugly.

You could confirm my guess by setting this value to false in WEB-INF / classes / jasperreports.properties
# ignore missing fonts in reports
net.sf.jasperreports.awt.ignore.missing.font=true

Restart the server. See if your report now fails to run at all. If it fails... that's great! You have identified the problem. You should then be able to update the reports to use more appropriate fonts, or conversely you might want to leave the report unchanged but make sure the server has access to the required font.

Hi,

 

It was a know problem that the same text with the same font size appears to be smaller in HTML. This is because by default, in the JR HTML exporter, we specify font size in pixels.

If we configure the HTML exporter to specify font size in points, using the JRHtmlExporterParameter.SIZE_UNIT, then the trouble is that images cannot be sized in points and we end up with a discrepancy between pixel-based measurements (images) and point-based measurements (text).

 

This is why we recently enhanced the HTML and the XHTML exporters in JR to make use of the ZOOM_RATIO exporter parameter, that was previously known by the AWT exporter only.

This way we could export a document in pixels, so that everything stays consistent, but at a specified zoom ratio, so that text appears to remain the same size in the browser, compared to 100% zoom in PDF or the other formats.

This new exporter parameter will be available in JR 3.7.1. Unfortunately, this came in too late for inclusion in JS 3.7, soon to be released, but you could make JR upgrades in your local JS deployment if you want to make use of this.

 

I hope this helps.

Teodor
