I made a report with iReport using some default fonts (monospace, sans-serif). This report is a bit complex and many static elements have their position calculated to fit the label's width. Just for example: Where "test of a long string..." is a field content, and the boxes are static elements. As you can see I need a precise char sizes as.
The iReport preview well works, but when I made a report with JasperReport library fonts size are really different from the iReport preview and, moreover, the monospace font doesn't exist at all.
How to exactly create a PDF report like ireport preview?
