Servoy Forum

Getting an error when running a Jasper report. Initially, Jasper reports could not find the font; so I downloaded and placed in MEDIA folder, as suggested in another thread.

Now I get an error that the JVM cannot find the font. Where does that get installed on a Servoy/Windows installation?

Thanks,

Daryl

Jasper Reports is generally picky in regards to fonts. depending on the client you need to do different things.

If you are using smartclient and use the included report-viewer, you need the font on your client-machine.

If you use ng- or webclient and generate the fonts on the server, you need to create a font-extension, which is basically a jar with the font-files (check the license of the font) and include the font-extension in yout plugin-folder and modify the servoy_jasperreports.jar.jnlp .

The creation of the font-extension is described here: https://community.jaspersoft.com/wiki/custom-font-font-extension

I have the following reference in the servoy_jasperreports.jar.jnlp:

Code: Select all

<jar href="/plugins/servoy_jasperreports/font_extension.jar" download="eager" version="%%version%%"/>


That solved most of my font-problems.
