Solution

  • You can create a Font extension jar with iReport and export it out and add it to your classpath and everything should be fine. See this blog post for an example: http://mdahlman.wordpress.com/2010/05/28/jaspersoft-v3-7-font-extensions/

    Second option is copy fonts in reports related folder and create style tag, then map the style to component.

    <style name="yourHeader" fontName="Verdana" fontSize="9" isBold="true" pdfFontName="reports/fonts/fontname.ttf" pdfEncoding="Cp1252" isPdfEmbedded="true"/>

    PdfEncoding is required attribute. 

            <textField isBlankWhenNull="false">
            <reportElement key="textField" style="yourHeader" x="1" y="1" width="200" height="20" />
            <textElement>
                <font isPdfEmbedded="true"/>
            </textElement>
            <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$R{text}]]></textFieldExpression>
        </textField>

    Font is available in your machine, but they aren’t registered as font extensions refer below link
