In Internal preview of Hindi fonts Displays Correctly. But in Pdf It Varies .
For Example : पिता . In Pdf it Shows प िता
How to resolve this.
Special characters like Hindi language symbols will be supported by few font types like Arial Unicode MS:
To Resolve this issue, Open Ireport designer and apply below properties to the report:
Font Name = "Arial Unicode MS".
PDF font name = This property is deprecated, so leave it blank.
PDF Encoding = 'Identity-H (Unicode with horizontal writing)'.
Hope this help you resolve the issue.

objBean.setParty_name(obj!= null ?obj.toString().trim():"");
System.out.println("DATA"+objBean.getParty_name());
allRecords.add(objBean);

Hindi content should just be a string of characters, like other content in languages.
The fact that your content shows as question marks is likely that you are using the wrong encoding or the font used to display the characters just does not support Hindi characters.
Just make sure all your systems use Unicode and the same encoding type (e.g. UTF-8).
To have your database work correctly when sorting results, set the collation to Hindi as well (though I do not know how it is done on Informix).
Finally ensure the fonts used for rendering contain glyphs for your characters.

I am having a trouble with jasper reports. The task is to update the font used on some reports from dejavu sans (used earlier to get all the Croatia diacritic letters - č, ć, đ, š, ž) to times new roman. The jaspersoft studio version application uses is 6.9.0.
The existing times new roman does not do what I want to, it does not show Croatian letters at all, so I created a "new" times new roman font (tried it with multiple encodings and preferences when adding a new font). It works OK besides the issue with đ letter. Did anybode here had similar problems? It would not be a problem for non-variable texts where đ can be changed with dj, but if the content that needs to be formated to times new roman comes from the database, I have to show it the way it is in there.
When I say that I don't see the specific letter - I don't see it in PDF when the report is published.
Thank you for your time.
I'm using Jasper Report and iReport 5.5.1. I created a grid using rectangles and inserted static text fields. My problem is that the PDF output created with Java is different from the iReport preview. Below you can see the three screenshots, first from the editor, the second is the preview and the third is the pdf output. We can see the overlap of the text and furthermore the bold title is not printed bold.
It looks like a font issue.
To achieve the common behavior across all the outputs, Open the Ireport designer and apply below properties:
Font Name = "Arial Unicode MS".
PDF font name = This property is deprecated, so leave it blank.
PDF Encoding = 'Identity-H (Unicode with horizontal writing)'.
Hope this help you.

I want to know , how can we convert a font to Unicode font. I have PDF file in my native language but those text has been written in a specific font file (ttf file). So i want to convert those text into Unicode fonts.
So how can i convert those text into Unicode. Is there any free online software available or i have to write any software code in any language.
I have tried in PHP but not getting much more effective.
Your question mixes several basic concepts (it is unclear whether you want to convert a font or the text it's written with), and I suggest you look a bit deeper into font technology before asking "then so how would I do it".
"Normal" fonts are using Unicode encoding. The "encoding" of a font describes which character image inside a font gets output for a given character code. A font can contain several encodings -- MacRoman, Windows Western -- and nowadays including a Unicode encoding is practically standard.
A font that does not comply to Unicode encoding (or any of the common ones) cannot be used without a translation from its character set to Unicode.
Your description suggests that the font in your PDF may be such a non-conforming font, so you need a table that maps its character codes to Unicode values. Use Google to see if someone else did this before you; if not, you will have to create the table yourself.
However.
Since your text comes out of a PDF, you cannot rely anymore on the encoding! If a PDF gets created, the software that does it is free to move characters around to different positions -- usually it creates a subset font from the original, and it can be convenient to reassign character codes. Friendly PDF creators may also include their own encoding in the PDF, but it is not mandatory. If it is missing, and your font is subsetted, then there is only one solution: you will have to create a translation table for that particular PDF. It will not be of any use for other documents using "the same" font, because that most likely will have a different subset.
I have some utf-8 characters in jasperreports template. In iReport editor everything fine.
But after compiling the output PDf can not draw the valid unicode characters and draws ? instead.
How can I fix it?
Thank you
In order to enable unicode support in output PDF file you have to:
Add jasperreports-fonts-x.x.x.jar to project's classpath
In iReport select external font for textboxes and static text elements. Usually, it is DejaVu fonts
This is solution for latest versions of JasperReports (tested on 4.5.0)
if you have problems displaying UTF-8 characters in the pdf, no need to do anything! Just change the font of the cells in the table from sanserif to Dejavu sans. thats it.
