i-net Clear Reports

Fonts/Layout Properties

With the properties in this category, you can define the default settings for the page layout and used fonts.

Properties of Fonts:Layout

Font Path

Specifies the directory that contains the .ttf and/or .ttc files used for font embedding in PDF export, PS export and Java viewer.
This value points to the directory containing all TTF fonts that can be embedded by i-net Clear Reports into the created reports. It is recommended to use a font directory which contains all True Type Fonts that you would like to embed into your documents, e.g.: C:/ClearReports/fonts or /home/username/.fonts.

C:/ClearReports/fonts
/home/username/.fonts

Use Native Fonts

The value may be true or false. If set to true, then the java viewer bean will use real font names. This is useful in an environment where all workstations have the same fonts installed. If set to false, the java viewer bean will only use abstract font names. This is more useful in a setup where different operating systems are in use. If fonts do not exist on the client, you can still use this option in combination with a font path, which will cause the fonts to be embedded in the report.

Default value: false

Font Auto Scaling

This property specifies that the viewer should automatically scale text pieces so that they fit into the widths computed for them by the server's font metrics - this can help for report clients with different fonts to have a similar look of the report as designed.

Default value: true

Compress Viewer Fonts

Specifies that embedded fonts, which are sent to viewer, will be compressed. This decrease the traffic between report server and viewer but can increase the report execution time on the server.

Default value: false

Default Paper Orientation

This property will be used when the paper orientation was not saved in the rpt file.
This can occur e.g. if the checkbox 'Default Properties' (until Crystal Reports 8.5) or the checkbox 'No Printer' was selected in the "Print Setup" dialog box of the Crystal Reports Designer.
The following values are possible:

  • portrait
  • landscape

Default value: 1

Default Paper Size
