Font is not available to the JVM with Jasper Reports

Question

I m trying to generate report with DynamicJasper  but I m getting the following error   net sf jasperreports engine util JRFontNotFoundException                                     Font  Arial  is not available to the JVM       msttcorefonts is installed  but I guess the JVM is not using any fonts from it    I m using Ubuntu 10 04    How can I fix this

JasperReports raises a JRFontNotFoundException in the case where the font used inside a report template is not available to the JVM as either as a system font or a font coming from a JR font extension  This ensure that all problems caused by font metrics mismatches are avoided and we have an early warning about the inconsistency    Jasper reports is trying to help you in your report development  stating that it can not export your report correctly since it can not find the font defined in TextField or StaticText    lt font fontName  Arial   gt    Yes you can disable this by setting net sf jasperreports awt ignore missing font to true but you will have export inconsistencies   Yes you can install the font as JVM system font  but you need to do it on every PC used that may generate report and you can still have encoding problems    The correct way   Use Font Extensions   if you like to create your own  see link below   jasper reports also distributes a default font-extension jar  jasperreports-fonts-x x x jar   that supports fontName DejaVu Sans  DejaVu Serif and DejaVu Sans Mono   lt font fontName  DejaVu Sans   gt    From the JasperReport Ultimate Guide      We strongly encourage people to use only fonts derived from font   extensions  because this is the only way to make sure that the fonts   will be available to the application when the reports are executed at   runtime  Using system fonts always brings the risk for the reports not   to work properly when deployed on a new machine that might not have   those fonts installed   Links on StackOverflow on how to render fonts correctly in pdf  Checklist on how to render font correctly in pdf  Generate font-extensions with JasperSoft Studio  Generate font-extensions with iReport

There are three method to avoid such a problem   Method 1   by setting ignore missing font property   JRProperties setProperty  net sf jasperreports awt ignore missing font    true      or you can set this property by entering following line into  jrxml file    lt property name  net sf jasperreports awt ignore missing font  value  true   gt    Method 2   by setting default font property   JRProperties setProperty  net sf jasperreports default font name    Sans Serif      or you can set this property by entering following line into  jrxml file    lt property name  net sf jasperreports default font name  value  Sans Serif   gt    Method 3   by adding missing font property    Firstly install missing fonts in IReport by selecting   Tools    Options    Fonts    Install Font   then select the all font and Export this By clicking on  Export as Extension  with  jar Extension   You can use this jar for Jasperreports-font X X X jar which will be present in your project library or classpath

If you are using maven in your project  you can just add the jasper-fonts dependency to pom xml    lt dependency gt       lt groupId gt net sf jasperreports lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt jasperreports-fonts lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 6 8 1 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt    Installing the missing font on the system may be a working solution but not for me  I didn t want to have to install the missing fonts after each deployment in a new server  instead I opted for embedding the font with the application   Regards

I tried installing mscorefonts  but the package was installed and up-to-date   sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer   I tried searching for the font in the filesystem  with   ls  usr share fonts truetype msttcorefonts    This folder just had the README  with the correct instructions on how to install    cat  usr share fonts truetype msttcorefonts README   You need an internet connection for this   sudo apt-get install --reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer   I re-installed ttf-mscorefonts-installer  as shown above  making sure to accept the EULA   and the problem was solved
