Java – jasperreports 5.6: unable to load the following fonts

The problem I face is that Jasper reports still can't find the Arial font

I created a simple Maven project with the following structure and included it in my main application Therefore, the main application contains the installed jars in the classpath:

- jasperreports_extension.properties
- fonts
  |-> arial
    |-> ariali.ttf
    |-> arialbi.ttf
    |-> arialbd.ttf
    |-> arial.ttf
  |-> fonts.xml

However, when exporting the report to PDF, I still see the following exceptions

net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRRuntimeException: Could not load the following font : 
pdfFontName   : Arial
pdfEncoding   : Identity-H
isPdfEmbedded : true

jasperreports_ extension. properties

net.sf.jasperreports.extension.registry.factory.simple.font.families=net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fonts.SimpleFontExtensionsRegistryFactory
net.sf.jasperreports.extension.simple.font.families.arial=fonts/fonts.xml

fonts. xml：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<fontFamilies>
    <fontFamily name="Arial">
        <normal>fonts/arial/arial.ttf</normal>
        <bold>fonts/arial/arialbd.ttf</bold>
        <italic>fonts/arial/ariali.ttf</italic>
        <boldItalic>fonts/arial/arialbi.ttf</boldItalic>
        <pdfEncoding>Identity-H</pdfEncoding>
        <pdfEmbedded>true</pdfEmbedded>
    </fontFamily>
</fontFamilies>

Template

<font fontName="Arial" size="8" pdfFontName="Arial" pdfEncoding="Identity-H" isPdfEmbedded="true"/>

Solution

The problem is the template itself: the < fontname > property is missing at a font label:

Not working:

<font size="12" isBold="true" pdfFontName="Arial"/>

Work:

<font fontName="Arial" size="12" isBold="true" pdfFontName="Arial" pdfEncoding="Identity-H" isPdfEmbedded="true"/>
