[jasperreports-questions] reportFont behaves different between windows and linux

[Kailasam, Karuppaiah <Karuppaiah.Kailasam@ai...>]

I noticed the reportFont behaves differently on linux

 

For example, I defined reportFont as follows

 

<reportFont name="Arial_Bold" isDefault="false" fontName="Arial" size="7"
isBold="true" isItalic="false" isUnderline="false" isStrikeThrough="false"
pdfFontName="Helvetica" pdfEncoding="CP1252" isPdfEmbedded="false"/>

 

When I choose this reportFont for a text field, In windows environment, it
works exactly what I see on the report design, but on linux it moves
approximately one line above the specified location

 

The reason I am using the reportFont is, any thing under font size 8 doesn't
seem to work when I make the font as bold.

 

Any one has come across this issue?

 

Thanks

Karup.

Hi,

Make sure the "Arial" font is installed on the Linux machine and it is 
available to the JVM.

I hope this helps.
