JasperReports does not generate report with bold

Question

I have read JasperReports - Fonts Sample (version 6.2.0) official tutorial to generate my reports the same way they were designed with font styles.

Here's my jasperreports_extension.properties:

net.sf.jasperreports.extension.registry.factory.simple.font.families=net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fonts.SimpleFontExtensionsRegistryFactory
net.sf.jasperreports.extension.simple.font.families.dejavu=net/sf/jasperreports/fonts/fonts.xml
net.sf.jasperreports.extension.simple.font.families.arial=net/sf/jasperreports/fonts/fonts.xml

Here's my fonts.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<fontFamilies>
    <fontFamily name="DejaVu Sans">
        <normal>net/sf/jasperreports/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf</normal>

</fontFamilies>

I placed the fonts in my jar but when I generate the report the font styles still does not appear. Am I missing something?

I do not think you have problem with itext library, maybe you have the jasperreports-fonts-6.x.x in your classpath and it is using this instead of your font-extension... This is most probably a classpath problem (probably more then one jasperreports_extension.properties) — Petter Friberg, Dec 31 '15 at 11:49

You need to have the correct path to your xml and ttf files, it follows same style as java package.

Example

If your jasperreports_extension.properties is in the project root folder (that I would suggest since it need to be found by jasper-reports) and you have the fonts.xml and ttf files in a folder that are called fonts.

The reference in jasperreports_extension.properties would be:

net.sf.jasperreports.extension.simple.font.families.myFonts=fonts/fonts.xml

And in fonts.xml

<fontFamily name="DejaVu Sans">
    <normal>fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf</normal>
    <bold>fonts/DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf</bold>
    .....
</fontFamily>

If you still have problem I suggest that you use an IDE like ireport or jaspersoft-studio they will let you automatically generate a jar for the font-extension (including your ttf's).

It will then be enough that you included this jar in your classpath when generating your pdf export.

What is wrong in my files? I download via maven the jar and modified these files and added my fonts only. And what is even more curious is that I am using Arial and Arial Black with or without bold. I just generated the jar by reading the tutorial you provided and still does not work. – Philippe Gioseffi Dec 30 '15 at 20:34
@PhilippeGioseffi Are the jasperreports_extension.properties in root folder, are the fonts.xml deployed in net/sf/jasperreports/fonts/ folder are the ttf deployed in net/sf/jasperreports/fonts/dejavu/ and net/sf/jasperreports/fonts/arial/??? seems strange that you made a package that is the same as jasper report... – Petter Friberg Dec 30 '15 at 20:40
If you generate as tutorial it will work make sure that the jar it is in your class path (and remove old jasperreports_extension.properties).... – Petter Friberg Dec 30 '15 at 20:42
Naturally the textField need to use a font as indicated in fonts.xml see this question for example of font-extension http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33940126/how-can-i-display-%C2%A3%E2%84%A6%E2%82%AC%CE%B1%CF%80%E2%85%94-in-jasperserver-pdf-using-ireport – Petter Friberg Dec 30 '15 at 20:45

Is it possible to upload my jar here in stackoverflow? – Philippe Gioseffi Dec 30 '15 at 21:48
Would you take a look if I place it in Google Drive and share a link here? – Philippe Gioseffi Dec 30 '15 at 21:49
Sure, if in the next 10 min. – Petter Friberg Dec 30 '15 at 21:50
