Developing on Windows Xp deploying on Linux (Servoy/Jasper R

Classic Servoy

Hi,

We are developing with Servoy (3.5.7) and Jasper Reports (Ireport) on Windows Xp and we are thinking about deploying
on Linux.

The Oracle database is no problem, it run’s even beter on Linux.

I guess the Servoy server also runs fine ( as stated in http://www.servoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=11797)

I am not sure what happens to text fonts :

  1. If I created Servoy forms on Xp with fields that use Tomaha font and then deploy on a Linux server and then start a smartclient from a Xp client
    connecting to that Linux server will the font be oke (Tomaha ?)

  2. If I created Jasper Reports with for instance Times New Roman font and then deploy that report on the Linux server and
    and then run that report from a Xp smartclient, will the font be oke ? (Times New Roman ?)

Regards,

Yes, everything will be ok, fonts are handled client side so you don’t have to worry.

hmm. but 2) not, no? Reports are created on the server and the font must be present there when the report is created. In case it is not, you could “embed” the font in the reports. Then you have to provide the font file.

True, you’re right Patrick, but what’s the problem in loading that font on the linux server?

no problem, but it has to be done.
