jaspertreport v.6.1.1: font extension not working for international language

0
votes

I'm new to Jasper Report. I'm trying to display Thai characters in PDF using font extensions but for some reason the characters are not displayed. I've researched on this issue and followed the official documentation (http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/sample.reference/fonts/) but it didn't work.

I use TIBCO JasperSoft studio to do the design and everything is displayed correctly when I preview the design via JasperSoft studio. However, when I applied the generated jrxml file to my Java code the Thai characters were not displayed in PDF file. I also tried in Html file and everything worked just fine.

Following the official documentation to generate a PDF, i'm recommended to export the JAR file containing the TTF files, the jasperreports_extension.properties and fonts.xml files.

Please look at my code snippets

fontsfamily1445966397265.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<fontFamilies>
  <fontFamily name="tahoma">
    <normal>fonts/tahoma/Tahoma.ttf</normal>
    <bold>fonts/tahoma/tahomabd.ttf</bold>
    <pdfEncoding>Identity-H</pdfEncoding>
    <pdfEmbedded>true</pdfEmbedded>
    <exportFonts>
  <export key="xhtml">tahoma</export>
  <export key="html">tahoma</export>
</exportFonts>

jasperreports_extension.properties

net.sf.jasperreports.extension.registry.factory.simple.font.families=net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fonts.SimpleFontExtensionsRegistryFactory
net.sf.jasperreports.extension.simple.font.families.ireportfamily1445966397265=fonts/fontsfamily1445966397265.xml

Java Code

JasperCompileManager.compileReportToFile(JRXML_FILE);
String printFileName = JasperFillManager.fillReportToFile(JASPER_FILE, params, conn);
JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(printFileName, PDF_FILE);

jrxml file

I'm sure that the JAR file is in my Maven classpath.

I'm using Jaspersoft Studio version 6.1.1.final using JasperReports Library version 6.1.1.

There is an additional jar jasperreports fonts. mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sf.jasperreports/… . Do you have that on the classpath as well? – Gimby
thanks for your response. yes it's in my classpath but it's version 6.0.0 not 6.1.1. I don't think it matters in this case. – user3079777
No it doesn't since there is no version 6.1.1. If you open the PDF in adobe acrobat, you should be able to see somewhere what fonts are embedded in the PDF. I don't know the exact menu item. Is the font you expect actually embedded in the generated PDF? – Gimby
Yea, I set the pdfEmbedded property to true. – user3079777
That's not what I asked at all. – Gimby

I solved the issue. I just forgot to point JASPER_FILE variable to the right file. This solution for displaying international characters already worked :)
