I'm using jasper 0.6.0 version and itext 1.0.1. I'm using MS Mincho jar file and itextasian and itextasiancmaps jar file. it is printing japanese characetrs as ??? in PDF

Later i upgraded the Jasper version to 6.0.0 and itext version to 5.50 still it is printing as ???

i've attached the Java Source code and jrxml. is there a problem with my jrxml or do i need some other jars to support these characters on PDF

  • Are you using font extensions? – Alex K Apr 06 '17 at 07:05
  • Possible duplicate of [Jasper Reports PDF doesn't export cyrillic values](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34041619/jasper-reports-pdf-doesnt-export-cyrillic-values) – Alex K Apr 06 '17 at 07:13
  • Yes i'm using MS Mincho fonts jar – GaneshBhagavath Apr 06 '17 at 07:27
  • Should work in this case. You can try to debug with attached JasperReports source code and check the availability of your font (I don't remember the name of class). Maybe your font definition file at font's *jar* is a little bit wrong – Alex K Apr 06 '17 at 07:30
  • It Is working in other jrxml file.. I'm using same jasper report 6.0, itext 5.50, and MS Mincho Jar.. and i'm able to display characters proeprly in the PDF.. but in the above jrxml it is displaying as ???? – GaneshBhagavath Apr 06 '17 at 07:33
  • Does 0.6.0 jasper will support Unicode characters? or which version i need to use? – GaneshBhagavath Apr 06 '17 at 07:33
  • So legacy... I don't remember about *0.6* version, but it works since *3.x* (or even *2.x*) version as I remembering. It is better to use the last version (*6.x*) – Alex K Apr 06 '17 at 07:37
  • but in 6.0.0 also it is printing as ???.Dont know what is the issue. – GaneshBhagavath Apr 06 '17 at 07:40
  • It is a working solution. Maybe something wrong with your classpath/font jar. The best way is to debug – Alex K Apr 06 '17 at 07:46
  • I Did, I;ve added MS Mincho fonts jar in classpath and it is working with Other jrxml with JR-6.0.0 but the above jrxml is not able to print Japanese characters properly to PDF using JR-6.0. It is printing as ??? – GaneshBhagavath Apr 06 '17 at 07:50
  • I've added the other jrxml in the above question, please check – GaneshBhagavath Apr 06 '17 at 07:52
