When I format a text field to be displayed in "Bold"..it appears as bold in the ireport output, but is not displayed in bold when the same is viewed as a PDF.. any suggestions...?
Just put this in your pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sf.jasperreports</groupId>
<artifactId>jasperreports-fonts</artifactId>
<version>5.6.1</version>
</dependency>
