  • ` have jasperreports_extension.properties & the relevant TTF files in ClassPath.` - Did you create jar with font? Look at [Font Extensions](http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/sample.reference/fonts/index.html#fontextensions) topic – Alex K Jul 25 '13 at 11:12
  • The quote from sample: `Once you have the TTF files, the jasperreports_extension.properties and fonts.xml files, you can pack them together in a JAR file, and then put the JAR in your application's classpath, in order to make the new fonts available to your reports, wherever the application might run.` – Alex K Jul 25 '13 at 11:13
  • Yes. I have created Jar with iReport tool and put it in classpath. the same error is appear – user2618259 Jul 25 '13 at 11:41
  • What version of *JasperReports* library are you using? – Alex K Jul 25 '13 at 11:50
  • We used with Version 4.5.1 – user2618259 Jul 25 '13 at 11:56
  • I think you the debug on *JR* classes (you can download the source code) can help you. It is better to check the second parameter for this this method `Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, is);` (the line #69 in `SimpleFontFace(String)` constructor.) – Alex K Jul 25 '13 at 12:06
  • I didn't sucess to research and understend what the problem. I looked in the source code but it looks to me OK. this Jasper report is new for me. can you help me with that please? – user2618259 Jul 25 '13 at 16:09

Change permissions on the tomcat temp directory to allow tomcat/jasper to write to it.

  • My tomcat was se to use c:\windows. Maybe changing the temp dir (java.io.tmpdir property) is better. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2837972/how-is-the-tomcat-temp-directory-location-defined – Rogel Garcia Mar 11 '15 at 19:24

In My case I solved this issues by manually creating a temp directory in Tomcat folder and changing permission.

Running tomcat/application server with administrator access can also help.

I am facing the same issue and root cause in my case is temp folder is removed from tomcat directory solution is when i created temp folder in tomcat then this issue is resolved.
