  • Do the fonts used for export have the characters necessary? I'm not sure what method Jasper Report uses, but the PDF file usually contains the font used for generating it - which means that font must support international characters. – Piskvor left the building Feb 23 '11 at 16:33

Set some text field properties at iReport. Use font DejaVu Sans. Set pdf encoding to Cp1251 and isPdfEmbedded to true.

Ex.: <font fontName="DejaVu Sans" isStrikeThrough="false" pdfEncoding="Cp1251" isPdfEmbedded="true" />

jasperreports fonts as maven dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>net.sf.jasperreports</groupId>
    <artifactId>jasperreports-fonts</artifactId>
</dependency>

  • 3 years later... pdfEncoding is deprecated however jasperreports-fonts uses font-extensions if you like to use your own font, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34041619/jasper-reports-pdf-doesnt-export-cyrillic-values/ for font-extension example. – Petter Friberg Jan 18 '16 at 17:04

First, make sure you have the right encoding:

JRPdfExporter exporter = new JRPdfExporter();
exporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.CHARACTER_ENCODING, "UTF-8");

Then you should change the fonts to ones that support cyrillic. This is done via styles:

public void addPdfFontsToStyles(JRStyle[] styles) {
    if (styles != null) {
        for (JRStyle style : styles) {
            if (style.getName().equals("reportStyle")) {
                style.setPdfFontName("/com/yourcompany/fonts/times.ttf");
                style.setBlankWhenNull(true);
            }

            if (style.getName().equals("reportBoldStyle")) {
                style.setPdfFontName("/com/yourcompany/fonts/timesbd.ttf");
                style.setBlankWhenNull(true);
            }

        }
    }
}

And invoke this method with addPdfFontsToStyles(jasperReport.getStyles());

Of course, the prerequisites are:

  • your text is using one of the above style names
  • you have the ttf files on the classpath

That should do it (I'm taking the code from a working cyrilic application)

  1. register font in JVM

    Font myFont = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, new File("pathToCyrillicFont"));
GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().registerFont(myFont);

  2. add to Cyrillic field this:

    <textElement>
   <font
                  fontName="fontName"
                  pdfFontName="pathToCyrillicFont"
                  size="13"
                  isBold="false"
                  isItalic="false"
                  isUnderline="false"
                  isPdfEmbedded ="true"
                  pdfEncoding ="Cp1251"
                  isStrikeThrough="false"
   /> 
 </textElement>

Enjoy!

Since jasper report v5, v6 the correct way to display characters in pdf is to use font-extension

For more information see these question on stackoverflow:

Jasper Reports PDF doesn't export cyrillic values

How can I display "$£Ω€απ⅔" in Jasperserver PDF using iReport?

just stumbled over this, the solution for me was to add the font-resource on the server. Go to you report -> edit -> add Resources
