Font is not available to the JVM with Jasper Repor

Question

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?

Answer 1

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,

• Arial
• Times New Roman
• Courier New
• Comic Sans MS
• Georgia
• Verdana
• Monospaced

Direct Link to download jar: Maven ver 1.0. DynamicFonts

Answer 2

I solved this by choosing 'SansSerif' or 'Serif' only and not 'Arial' or 'Times New Roman'.

Answer 3

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:

 <property name="net.sf.jasperreports.awt.ignore.missing.font" value="true"/>

Hope it helps.

Answer 4

Solution in 2 steps (if you are using centOS)

1. Download the Microsoft core fonts rpm package.

   [root@WEBSVR~/]# wget http://www.itzgeek.com/msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.noarch.rpm
   

2. Install rpm package.

   [root@WEBSVR~/]# rpm -Uvh msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.noarch.rpm
   

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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)
