JasperReports: fonts issues [UniJIS-UCS2-H (Japanese)]- converting old reports to new version

问题

I am sure this question was asked so many times before, just need some clarification, i have bunch of reports made using older version of the iReport 2.x and JasperReports 3.1.0, when I tried to recompile using the latest version of both iReport and JR report, i keep getting error.

Error exporting print... Could not load the following font :  
pdfFontName   : HeiseiKakuGo-W5 
pdfEncoding   : UniJIS-UCS2-H 
isPdfEmbedded : true

Many of the older reports uses these fonts: HeiseiKakuGo-W5, HeiseiMin-W3

I am pretty confused regarding this. Basically these reports are created 4 years back by my japanese co-worker and I haven't touched reports for over 3 years now. Now i am running blind.

The same report I am trying to run..

</jasperReport>

I get the following error

Exporting PDF (using iText) to file... C:\Users\prabhu\Desktop\mod_recipt_test1\report1ss.pdf!
Error exporting print... Could not load the following font :  
pdfFontName   : HeiseiKakuGo-W5 
pdfEncoding   : UniJIS-UCS2-H 
isPdfEmbedded : true

I just want to know do I need to buy these fonts from some vendor to use via the font extension jars or I am doing something wrong. Last time when I used iReport I just had to set the pdffontname and pdfencoding and everything went fine, Sighs i am so so outdated... if someone can give me a quick pointer or hint it would be great help for me...

BTW: I have also asked my company to try and find out where they can buy the fonts.

回答1:

OK after many trail and errors, i managed to find out proper way to do the task.

Do we need the fonts to be present in the system/class path ? yes and seems like only ttf works properly. Basically the font need to be available in the system so JVM can access it. [packaging it into jar file is easier way .]
Use all updated jar files, mix matching versions causing issues. you need itext, itext-asian, jasper and jasper-fonts. [maven repository would be a good place to look for the jar files. ]
And for the font name. after searching a lot just decided to use the Sazanami Mincho font, which is freely available in centos package. [ this font is installed when you install the Japanese language support]

this is the parameter that worked for me

fontname      : Sazanami Mincho
pdfFontName   : HeiseiKakuGo-W5 
pdfEncoding   : UniJIS-UCS2-H 
isPdfEmbedded : true

@Alex K thanks for tidying up my question.
