Jaspersoft Studio itself does not support Chinese characters, so if there are Chinese characters in the report, it will become a small square:
There are two solutions:
1 Use Unicode codes
- Find a Chinese character to Unicode site and convert the Chinese character you want to enter into Unicode:
- Use components that support expressions
Do not use “static text” because it does not transform the content. Replace it with a “text field” component and copy the unicode for the character:
3. Reformat your font
Click the top toolbar, select the corresponding Chinese font, and set the font size:
Unfortunately, the font here is only up to 26.
4. Run the tests
Isn’t it nice to see beautiful Chinese characters
2 Install Chinese fonts
Although using Unicode can solve the problem of Chinese character display, but still feel cumbersome conversion, is there a better solution? Of course there is
- Download Chinese font
The example font here (TTF format) is Microsoft Yahei, of course you can use any font
- The installation
window -> preference
Open font Manager:
Click Add on the right to Add the font. Just enter the font name and select the font path:
After setting, click Next -> Next -> Finish and you are ready
The Settings after Next, one for HTML fonts and one for localized characters, are rarely used
- test
Let’s use the new static Text component and try typing Chinese characters:

The static text component is now supported
Note: You must use a new static Text component. Simply modifying an existing static Text component in the template will not take effect. Obviously Jaspersoft Studio will not apply a new font library to an old component.
- Font fine-tuning
Click on the Static Text component and you can find the font Settings in the middle of the top.
