Custom Font in Reports (Could not load the following font)

[lordburningleaf]

Dear all,

I have a problem with the fonts in PDF.

In my report the textfields should be able to print unicode texts. For that i found a solution in a forum:

I added the font arial.ttf into the repository, set "Pdf Embedded" true and the "Pdf Encoding" to "Identity-H". (see attachment)

When i run the Report from the Jasperserver (http:localhost/jasperserver), everything works fine when i generate the PDF report. But when i run the same PDF report from my WebApp, then i get following error:

 

net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRRuntimeException: Could not load the following font :
pdfFontName   : repo:arial.ttf
pdfEncoding   : Identity-H
isPdfEmbedded : true

 

Has anybody an idea whats wrong? Because it's the same report!

 

Thank you all very much!

Hey all,

 

i solved the problem =)

You have to set the full path to the "PDF font name" property, e.g. "C:/WINDOWS/fonts/arial.ttf".

I also tried to load the fonts into the repository ("repo:arial.ttf"), but that only worked with the jasperserver, not with my application.

Right, items registered in JasperServer need rights to access resources usually by registering it to a session.

Take caution on those Windows font files. They have copyrights are MS doesn't allow users to use them outside Windows.
