In order to enable unicode support in output PDF file you have to:

  1. Add jasperreports-fonts-x.x.x.jar to project's classpath
  2. 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)
