I have installed Pentaho Server 9 on Linux CentOS, and there I publish some reports in spanish.

 

When I run the reports to generate a PDF, all the accented vocals (á, é, í, ó, ú) are missing. If the report is generated on HTML the character are presented correctly.

 

I checked in the forums but i haven't found anything for Pentaho Server 9.

I had a similar problem with an older version of Pentaho Server, in the old forum you might find some other suggestions if this doesn't work:

Trank you very much to @Ana Gonzalez​  for her recomendation..

 

The problem was that the font I was using was missing from system. So I added the TTF file to the $JRE/lib/fonts directory and the problem was solved.

Hi,
I have the same problem with Pentaho Report Designer 9.2.
And accented vocals are missing if they come from a database field but also if they are simply text labels.
Did you solve this problem?

Thank you
