I'm trying to generate report with DynamicJasper, but I'm getting the following error:
net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRFontNotFoundException: Font 'Arial' is not available to the JVM. msttcorefonts is installed, but I guess the JVM is not using any fonts from it. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04. How can I fix this?
I tried installing mscorefonts, but the package was installed and up-to-date.
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer I tried searching for the font in the filesystem, with:
ls /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/ This folder just had the README, with the correct instructions on how to install.
cat /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/README You need an internet connection for this:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer I re-installed ttf-mscorefonts-installer (as shown above, making sure to accept the EULA!) and the problem was solved.
I use IReport to install font:
tools -> options -> fonts -> click install font
Then select the font and click
-> export as extension and type name myfont.jar
add this jar and also spring.jar* to your build path.
*copy spring.jar from Jaspersoft\iReport-3.7.0\ireport\modules\ext
JasperReports raises a JRFontNotFoundException in the case where the font used inside a report template is not available to the JVM as either as a system font or a font coming from a JR font extension. This ensure that all problems caused by font metrics mismatches are avoided and we have an early warning about the inconsistency.
Jasper reports is trying to help you in your report development, stating that it can not export your report correctly since it can not find the font defined in TextField or StaticText
Yes you can disable this by setting net.sf.jasperreports.awt.ignore.missing.font to false but you will have export inconsistencies.
Yes you can install the font as JVM system font (but you need to do it on every PC used that may generate report and you can still have encoding problems).
Use Font Extensions!, if you like to create your own (see link below), jasper reports also distributes a default font-extension jar (jasperreports-fonts-x.x.x.jar), that supports fontName DejaVu Sans, DejaVu Serif and DejaVu Sans Mono
From the JasperReport Ultimate Guide:
We strongly encourage people to use only fonts derived from font extensions, because this is the only way to make sure that the fonts will be available to the application when the reports are executed at runtime. Using system fonts always brings the risk for the reports not to work properly when deployed on a new machine that might not have those fonts installed

Checklist on how to render font correctly in pdf
For CentOS:
wget msttcorefonts
Then:
tar -zxvf msttcorefonts.tar.gz cp msttcorefonts/*.ttf /usr/share/fonts/TTF/ fc-cache -fv After all, restart JVM.
There are three method to avoid such a problem.
Method 1 : by setting ignore missing font property.
JRProperties.setProperty("net.sf.jasperreports.awt.ignore.missing.font", "true"); or you can set this property by entering following line into .jrxml file.
Method 2 : by setting default font property.
JRProperties.setProperty("net.sf.jasperreports.default.font.name", "Sans Serif"); or you can set this property by entering following line into .jrxml file.
Method 3 : by adding missing font property.
Firstly install missing fonts in IReport by selecting " Tools >> Options >> Fonts >> Install Font " then select the all font and Export this By clicking on "Export as Extension" with .jar Extension.
You can use this jar for Jasperreports-font.X.X.X.jar which will be present in your project library or classpath.
Many thanks to the previous replies. sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts works (on our Ubuntu development environment), but is not a very good solution.
Instead, we bundled the fonts with our application based on this tip. Their JAR file bundles the following fonts,
Direct Link to download jar: Maven ver 1.0. DynamicFonts
I solved this by choosing 'SansSerif' or 'Serif' only and not 'Arial' or 'Times New Roman'.
Try adding the line
net.sf.jasperreports.awt.ignore.missing.font=true
to your jasperreports.properties file.
You can do it by installing fonts, that means everywhere you want to run that particular application. Simplest way is just add this bl line to your jrxml file:
Hope it helps.
I faced the issue with my web application based on Spring 3 and deployed on Weblogic 10.3 on Oracle Linux 6. The solution mentioned at the link did not work for me.
I had to take the following steps - 1. Copy the Arial*.ttf font files to JROCKIT_JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/fonts directory 2. Make entries of the fonts in fontconfig.properties.src 3. Restart the cluster from Weblogic console
filename.Arial=Arial.ttf filename.Arial_Bold=Arial_Bold.ttf filename.Arial_Italic=Arial_Italic.ttf filename.Arial_Bold_Italic=Arial_Bold_Italic.ttf can make your custom fonts via iReport and converting like jars files
add
non-free contrib to deb and deb-src in /etc/apt/sources.list ie:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main non-free contrib Then
apt-get update apt-get install msttcorefonts Of course you'll need to restart jasperserver. ie:
/opt/jasperreports-server-cp-4.5.0/ctlscript.sh restart Change for your version / path.
Copy your Fonts on the following directory JDK_HOME\jre\lib\fonts
Create jasper report in multiple languages(Unicode)
1)Install font in ireport desginer
2)create extension of font(we will use it in applications classpath)
3)install font on os(optional)
4)paste all .ttf of font in jre->lib->fonts directory (otherwise web application will throw error font is not available to JVM)
Actually I fixed this issue in a very simple way
home path, like /root.fontsall your font files to .fonts, you can copy the font from C:\windows\fonts if you use windows.sudo apt-get install fontconfigHey Having trouble viewing documents produced on Windows?
You can try a fine solution easy:
yum install curl cabextract xorg-x11-font-utils fontconfig
After this I need reboot my system CentOS6.
Solution in 2 steps (if you are using centOS)
Download the Microsoft core fonts rpm package.
[root@WEBSVR~/]# wget http://www.itzgeek.com/msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.noarch.rpm Install rpm package.
[root@WEBSVR~/]# rpm -Uvh msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.noarch.rpm
