A lorry driver who was trapped inside his vehicle for more than one hour after it rammed a parked lorry, was rescued on Sunday morning. Govindarajan (47) was driving a container lorry with a consignment of aerated drinks from a factory in Nemam towards Puducherry. Around 5 a.m., his vehicle rammed another container lorry. The latter was carrying a load of rolled steel sheets and its driver Chandran had parked the vehicle after one of its rear wheels burst.
As the incident with the wheel occurred at an odd hour, Chandran was told that help would come only on Sunday morning. So, he left the vehicle near the median. Some time later, Govindarajan's lorry rammed the parked vehicle. In the impact, many bottles containing the aerated drink fell on the road and were shattered.
Residents of Irumbuliyur and CTO Colony and motorists on Chennai Bypass informed the control rooms of the traffic police and Tamil Nadu Fire and Rescue Services Department.
Personnel rushed to the spot and noticed a group of men around the driver's cabin trying to pull out Govindarajan whose legs were trapped. Police dispersed them and summoned two heavy duty cranes. Using iron cables, they tried to lift the driver's cabin and succeeded after an hour's struggle. Govindarajan emerged out of the vehicle safely, was given first aid at a private hospital and is out of danger.
Traffic on Chennai Bypass was affected for more than an hour.

The girls' Fed Cup team will be led by Sever Dron from now on.
"Following the Board meeting on Thursday FRT was decided that corn is the new captain Ciprian nejucător Davis Cup team and will handle Sever Dron Fed Cup team. Ciprian corn, which is a member of the Executive Board, abstained from voting because he could not vote himself, while Dron was elected unanimously, "said Ruxandra Dragomir, who participated Friday in the second event of the 'Tennis 10" initiated by the FRT, held at School no. 45 in Bucharest.
Ruxandra Dragomir said Ciprian corn is suitable for this position. "Ciprian Maize deserves this position was a component of the Davis Cup team and has its own club, he runs very well. He will be available for Davis Cup team, where we invested a lot and best man for Romanian tennis to be promoted more, but also supported. Every player is obliged to come at the request of captain. A tennis player playing for Romania and for no particular man, "said Dragomir.

I have several buttons. When either of the buttons are pressed it pops up and alertView asking the user to take a photo or select from the camera roll. Now the issue I am having is that I have 12 buttons and 12 UIImageViews. All buttons have there own action which pops the alert and allows the user to choose either of the options. Now in didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo method I pass the image from the camera or the camera roll to the first imageView. This all works fine, however if I want to select button 2 which fires the another alert with another tag i want to set imageView 2 and so on so on (Not replace imageView1). I need a way to distinguish in the didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo what imageView to set based on the button selection which popped the alert. Because at the moment the first image view is only getting set and reset if I choose another button which should set the corresponding image.
Heres the action for the button.
-(IBAction) addPhoto1:(id) sender {
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Image Source" message:@"Take a photo or select a previously taken photo" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:@"Take Photo", @"Select Photo", nil];
[alert show];
alert.tag = 101;
[alert release];
And alert clickedButtonAtIndex
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alert clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
if (alert.tag == 101) {
if (buttonIndex == 1) {
//Take photo
[self performSelector:@selector(takePicture:) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.0];
else if (buttonIndex == 2){
//Camera roll
[self performSelector:@selector(pictureAlbum:) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.0];
else if (buttonIndex == 0) {
And here's the didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo
-(void) imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *) picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
if (picker.sourceType == UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera) {
UIImage *image = [info objectForKey:@"UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage"];
NSMutableDictionary *dict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
ALAssetsLibrary *library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
[library writeImageToSavedPhotosAlbum:[image CGImage] metadata:dict completionBlock:nil];
if (addFirstImage.tag == 1001) {
firstImage.image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
firstImage.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
firstImage.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
if (addSecondImage.tag == 1002) {
secondImage.image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
secondImage.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
secondImage.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
Now obviously this is not right whats the best way to set the correct imageViews image based on the button from the Alert that was originally pressed? (addFirstImage and addSecondImage are both buttons linked via IB)
Many thanks

Hey Guys. Been coming here for a while now. I'm a Hab fan. Where i come from and with the people I hang around with, it's tough sometimes being a Canadiens fan. I mean, people who are otherwise rational and fair minded individuals become frothing at the mouth,wild- eyed "I can't believe you cheer for that team!" people. I've been a fan since the late 60's. My introduction to the game was watching them come back against the Black Hawks in a long forgotten series. I've come to believe hatred is real. Even people whose grasp of hockey pretty much matches that of their understanding of quantum physics, are suddenly die-hard 'anybody but Montreal' fans. They don't know why they should feel this way. Surely the prospect of Lord Stanley coming back to it's rightful home has no sway on their fervent belief that regardless of provincial boundaries, or even national ones, we should not prevail. To that I say...Bite me! - Comment on Game 1 of Habs vs. Rangers Saturday afternoon at Bell Centre (2014-05-15 14:59:56)

this hotel should be taken off all booking sites, we arrived to a deserted hotel, no staff what so ever. freezing cold, no food, no breakfast.
The hotel was shut when we arrived at 18:00. We spen 30 minutes trying to get in and failed as no one was there. Fortunately we managed to find lodgings in a B&B around the corner.
I arrived at 9pm to check in. I found that the bar area was in darkness. Not a problem, it said that hotel guests should use the door around the side. The side door was locked, and nobody responded to the bell. There was a note saying that if there was no response, ring the number stated. I rang the number and a lady answered. After explaining that I had just arrived and would like to check in, she shouted to someone else that "someone has just arrived at the peel and wants to check in". My call was then promptly cut off. I tried to call again multiple times but every time no-one answered. After waiting for 30 minutes no-one arrived to let me in, so I had to find an alternative hotel and travel there instead. The Peel hotel was an utter joke.
470GBP was credited for my room which costs 50GBP only. We have not done any damages to the property and The Peel hotel is most poorest hotel that I've ever went to. There was no one to welcome us, we had to ring the contact number 20 times to respond, that delayed around 1 hour. There was no further service that was provided and no one was available at the hotel to check us out. No Breakfast as promised. No water for taking bath. Completely Dirty bed & pillow. The worst thing was no one was available in the hotel neither on the contact number to ask queries or raise a concern.
Nothing. Electic showers write a hazard and cubicle dirty.
Nothing the web site is completely wrong in its detail of the hotel nothing like what it's says on your site I would not even rate this hotel with a star
Honestly everything It says the food is locally sourced and freshly made All the food was probably from a freezer then microwaved Rubbish you need to alter your discription of the hotel
Calm and quiet place. Very friendly staff
Breakfast...limited. Need to improve on that.
Genial host,helpful
location,not easy to find even wih sat-nav
Our host was very helpful, nothing was too much trouble
Not used to such densely populated area, it was football nite locals were vocal
The Peel Hotel is in a nice quiet location with good walks nearby. The decor of the stairs, landing and bedrooms was very tasteful and in keeping with the type of building. The bedroom was really roomy and the bedding and towels nice and clean. We arrived early but were still made very welcome and shown to our room.
The price, far too high for the location and standard of the hotel. The bathroom needed to be cleaner. The breakfast was not of great quality and would rather have had room only. A couple of nicer touches would have been teabags that were wrapped and liquid soap in the bathroom.
Bathroom shawer was leaking and mats were wet thru. Bedding wasn't ironed... Not sure when was chenched last time.
Rooms were not ready on arrival at 7pm. Dirty sheets, awful service.
1. No one there when I arrived 2. Had to ring 3 numbers before I got a answer. 3. Had to wait 15 mins for man to arrive and let me in. 4. I didn't see anyone again!. The hotel was a pub as well which wasn't open. I feel the definishon of hotel is not what this place is! I won't be recommending this hotel to anyone!!!
Nothing. It was awful.
Mould in shower and on walls in bathroom.grubby bedding.stained towels. Green mould on toast at breakfast. Receptionist swearing.
Arrived less than an hour after booking but still made very welcome. GMAT very friendly and breakfast was great.
value for money location in a poor area for accommodation.
Good food & family run b& b everything explained & good home cooked food nice welcoming comfy bed to ensure a great nights sleep thankyou david
Nothing !
Booked at the last minute only negative point is we thought it was closer to barrow in Furness. Clean, very friendly, food was great as so were the staff. Would we stay here again yes!
I used this hotel for a single night stopover on my way to Keswick for a walking holiday. As such it fitted the bill completely, was comfortable, with good food, and pleasant, helpful staff. I would not hesitate to rebook.
Nothing. Leaving was the best part
Everything was horrible. Service was rubbish. Not what you would expect for the money at all. The beds were like sleeping on the floor they were that uncomfortable. I felt sleezy after sleeping there. I didn't even want to go in the shower because the towels didn't smell nice and they were damp. The ceiling had damp patches on it and the exterior wall was that cracked it looked like the building was ready to collapse. I didn't want breakfast as the only cook in the place was the husband and he had just left hospital with a very scabby flaking arm and I just couldn't bring myself to trust him to take extra precautions not to get it in the food. However my husband and son did go to breakfast and they didn't rate it at all. It was all cheap ingredients. On the night of arrival we were told the kitchen was closed due to the husband just leaving hospital. I do understand things happen but it would have been nice to at least had information of other places to eat in the area. It was late and we rang and rang the bell to get some information of were to go but no answer. Millom is a scruffy town with limited anything and we just couldn't find a place to eat on our own. We ended up going to a local spar for sandwiches expecting to eat them in the bar which is the rules of the hotel. No such luck. At 9pm we returned back to find the bar closed. Only by finding the hotels number on the internet were we able to speak with the owner who did apoligise and reopen the bar. If u want a nice place to go and a pleasant place to stay don't go to Millom and please don't go to peel hotel.
Very friendly husband and wife who give a relaxed family feel to this B&B. Very reasonable price for expensive area (The Lake District). Good food, and they will cook you an evening meal if required. Very clean.
Not a hotel as we know them to be. No room service for our four days, but clean towels willingly provided on request. All new and ongoing refurbishment, but choices make it feel old and dated. It is a converted pub in the back streets of a residential area. No facilities (shop, pub, restaurant) within walking distance for evenings. No toiletries, one pillow, very firm bed !

How to Dispose of Everything
There's a better way to get rid of these household items than tossing them in the trash.
By Alissa Katz
Special Offers
According to a new UN study, the U.S. created the most electronic waste of any member nation in 2012. (A shocking 30 tons of waste per person!) In most cases, appliances and electronics shouldn't be treated like any other waste we'd toss in the trash or leave on the curb. Follow these instructions for the best (and most earth-conscious) ways to dispose of your old gadgets. (If it's still working and you're just looking to upgrade, considering putting your old stuff on Freecycle or listing it for free on Craig's List. We guarantee it'll be out the door before you know it!)
Cleaning Products:
The best way to dispose of cleaning products is to use them! If that's out of the question, it's important to read the labels to figure out the right way to toss them. Hint: In most cases, water-soluble products can be flushed down the drain with running water, and solid cleaning products like bar soaps and scouring pads can be tossed in the trash.
Washers & Dryers:
You have a few options when it comes to these staple appliances. If they're still in good working order, give them a second life: Donate them to a shelter or home that would likely benefit. If you're buying new laundry appliances, ask the manufacturer whether they're certified to recycle your old ones. If all else fails, call your local recycling office to see whether you can leave them on the curb, or find out where the nearest recycling facility is.
Leave the disposal of these hefty appliances to the professionals. Contact your local department of public works to schedule the removal. The costs for this service will vary. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, removal can be free or anywhere from $10 to $50.
Got a metal microwave? Some municipalities let you recycle these appliances as scrap metal. (Electronics recyclers will do the same for a small fee.) Plastic microwave ovens go right into the trash.

The unlikely face of addiction
Death. Prison. Recovery. These are the choices an addict faces. They were the choices I faced in March 1987. I'd graduated from veterinary school nine months before. I was sixth in my class with a 3.89 GPA. I looked good on the outside, with a prestigious academic internship at Auburn University as my first job. My accomplishments propped up the fantasy that my life was normal despite daily amphetamine and alcohol use and struggles with bulimia and depression. Having grown up with addicted adults in my childhood as well as physical violence and sexual abuse, my concept of "normal" was somewhat warped in the first place. And my reality in early 1987 was anything but normal. I was almost completely isolated, unable to care for myself and increasingly unable to care for my patients. I was profoundly depressed and contemplating suicide. I had begun using controlled substances from the school's hospital—something to bring me down, then something to wake me up enough so that I could work. The interns working with me noticed that I reeked of anesthetic and was sliding downward fast. All that was left was the job. It was how I got money to feed my addictions, and it was the last thing I could hold up to show that everything was OK, even though it wasn't. Everything came to a head one night when I was on call. A receptionist called me to come in, but I was noticeably drunk on the phone. After that, a group of students and faculty reached out to me and forced me to confront my addiction. They saved my life.I was given the opportunity to participate in a program for chemically dependent physicians rather than being prosecuted for drug theft. Perhaps with divine inspiration, I made the right choice. I accepted help. One day at a time I am here today, 20 years sober, both inwardly healthy and outwardly successful and joyously participating in a profession that I love. Staying sober has required ongoing participation in 12-step programs and changes in my lifestyle. It requires plenty of effort and persistence on my part. But compared to the time and energy it took to lead a duplicitous, tortured existence as a using addict, it's minimal. Recovery has been more than a human salvage operation for me. I have been returned to life, empowered as an individual to live with enthusiasm and passion. I've learned many things on this journey. First, addiction is a brain-biochemistry issue, not one of failed self-control or moral depravity. If I could have stopped, I would have. Quitting was not possible without help—even in the face of severe external consequences. And I've seen other veterinarians die as a result of their addictions rather than admit they're not in control of their drug abuse. Our profession attracts self-motivated, highly critical, overachieving perfectionists. As observed by Dr. Joe Gloyd from the AVMA Wellness Committee, these are also characteristics common to addicts as well as people raised in addicted households. These tendencies, combined with ready access to controlled substances and sometimes lax drug accountability, means addiction is overrepresented in the veterinary community compared to the general population. This is neither good nor bad; it simply is. Being aware of addiction allows us to recognize colleagues in trouble and to help each other if the need arises. |

I have read through the sample code included in 3.6.1 (demo/samples/fonts).
I modified my jasperreports.properties file to include:
However, when I run my existing reports, attempting to generate PDF, I get:
net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRFontNotFoundException: Font 'BlairITC TT' is not available to the JVM. See the Javadoc for more details. at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRStyledText.getAwtAttributedString(JRStyledText.java:228)
I am not currently using the Spring framework, and would rather not have to deal with that. Is my only option to now programatically create an instance of 'SimpleFontFamily', and set all of the propeties (name, normal, italic, pdfEncoding, pdfEmbedded, etc.) on that object. Then add the object to the JRFiller?
Is there an example showing that approach instead? I was really hoping this would be as simple as specifying the directory of my TrueType fonts...
25 Answers:
Here is one fix that I have tried, but which did not work:
JRProperties.setProperty("net.sf.jasperreports.export.pdf.fontdir.jasper", "/home/jason/svn/trunk/lib/fonts/"); JRProperties.setProperty("net.sf.jasperreports.export.pdf.font.BlairITC TT.Normal","/home/jason/svn/trunk/lib/fonts/BlairMdITCTTMedium.ttf"); JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfStream(pFilledReport, pOut);
The exception I am still getting is:
net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRFontNotFoundException: Font 'BlairITC TT' is not available to the JVM. See the Javadoc for more details. at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRStyledText.getAwtAttributedString(JRStyledText.java:228) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.TextMeasurer.measure(TextMeasurer.java:353) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRFillTextElement.chopTextElement(JRFillTextElement.java:1003) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRFillTextField.prepare(JRFillTextField.java:542)
This exception was introduced in JR 3.6.1 so that is more obvious to our users that they are creating reports using fonts that are not available on the machines that run those reports.
Very many problems that are reported on these forums are related to misuse of fonts in reports.
You get this error because you are using fontName="BlairITC TT" in your reports and this particular font is not available to the JVM that renders your report.
You have two options here:
1. configure JR to ingnore missing fonts and continue using what is basically an invalid report template, which is missing an important resource: the font.
You can do this by setting the net.sf.jasperreports.awt.ignore.missing.font=true in the jasperreports.properties file or as a custom property in that particular report template.
Note that this is not recomended as unpredictable results will be obtained when the JVM will use some other font to calculate your report layout.
2. Package the TTF files that make up the BlairTC TT font into a JAR that represents a JR font extension and add it to your application classpath. This will make the font available to the JVM and thus the report will work properly on all machines.
The easiest way to do so is to rely on a few Spring JARs and package your fonts the same way we did with the DejaVu fonts that we ship under the /demo/fonts sample. Note the fonts.xml file in the folder hierachy. If you don't want to use Spring, you would need to implement some JR extensions interfaces. You could do so by looking into the implementations that are already shipped as part of JR, and follow the Javadoc.
Note that exception is related to fonts being used with AWT, at report fill time and they do not have to do with PDF. What you have tried are some PDF-related settings that are nowadays deprecated, as PDF font mappings are done in the font extensions as well.
The easiest way to create font extensions is by using iReport 3.6.1, which comes with a TTF install wizard and a font export tool, in the Tools/Options/iReport/Fonts menu.
I hope this helps.
After a day spent walking through the Jasper source in the debugger, I finally found the critical error.
I had modified my jasperreports_extensions.properties file to contain a reference to the factory and my fonts.xml file (trying to replicate the appraoch taken in the 'Fonts' sample code). In my first attempt, the resulting file after ant variable substitution looked like this:
net.sf.jasperreports.extension.registry.factory.fonts=net.sf.jasperreports.extensions.SpringExtensionsRegistry net.sf.jasperreports.extension.fonts.spring.beans.resource=/home/jason/svn/trunk/classes/fonts.xml
NOTE: The pathname to the 'fonts.xml' file is a full pathname. This version resulted in none of my custom font declarations being found by or made available to the JVM.
On a whim, I then modified the location of the fonts.xml file and the reference to it so that both would end up in the same directory after compliation (/home/jason/svn/trunk/classes), and to use the following relative path to the fonts.xml file:
net.sf.jasperreports.extension.registry.factory.fonts=net.sf.jasperreports.extensions.SpringExtensionsRegistry net.sf.jasperreports.extension.fonts.spring.beans.resource=fonts.xml
This had the desired effect - it caused the SpringExtensionsRegistry to load, parse, and process my fonts.xml file. In that file, I then defined fonts such as, where the ant macro @CLASSES@ is expanded at compile time to the complete canonical path to the TTF file. The use of the full pathname in this file did not have any negative side effect. However, at some point I will reformulate this to use a relative pathname.:
<bean id="blairITCFontFamily" class="net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fonts.SimpleFontFamily"> <property name="name" value="BlairITC TT"/> <property name="normal" value="@CLASSES@/BlairMdITCTTMedium.ttf"/> <property name="bold" value="@CLASSES@/BlairITCTTBold.ttf"/> <property name="pdfEncoding" value="Identity-H"/> <property name="pdfEmbedded" value="true"/> <property name="exportFonts"> <map> <entry key="net.sf.jasperreports.html"> <value>Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif</value> </entry> <entry key="net.sf.jasperreports.xhtml"> <value>Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif</value> </entry> </map> </property> </bean>
So everything is now back to normal :)
I don't understand why you work with absolute file locations on disk.
The path to the fonts.xml file should be its path within classpath, not path on disk.
This is why I told you font extensions are packaged in JAR. If you use absolute file names, packaging the font extension in a JAR does not make any sense anymore.
thank you for the JAR-tip in iReport.
I just want to add a bug report:
The jasperreports_extension.properties in the generated JAR-file has a wrong path to the fonts**.xml in the sub-directory "fonts".
It references the XML-file with a beginning Slahs (/fonts/fonts**.xml) which is wrong, I had to manualy remove this slash or it will end in an exception when starting JBoss and Jasper is creating its registries.
Yours sincerely,
Hi, Martin
I've let Giulio know about this and he'll look into it.
It would not hurt if you would actually log an iReport bug for this on the iReport trackers.
This way it will be marked as done in preparation for the next release.
Thank you,
I am new to Jasper Reports and have to upgrade an existing implementation from 3.5.2 to 3.6.2.
After doing the upgrade, some of our existing reports now fail with the JRFontNotFoundException as described in this thread.
I can avoid the exception by setting the ...ignore.missing.font=true as described above. As far as I understand, this will restore the previous behavior ... where no checking was done. However, I would rather fix it "properly" if possible.
As far as I know, my report definitions make no (intentional) effort to use any specific or custom fonts whatsoever. When I get the exception, it refers to the "sansserif" font e.g.
net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRFontNotFoundException: Font 'sansserif' is not available to the JVM. See the Javadoc for more details.
I get this problem both in iReport and when running the report through my application.
Should I be seeing this problem for this font? Or does it indicate something else wrong.
Unfortunately I'm not very up on the whole area of fonts and Jasper in general ... just trying to upgrade to the latest version without doing any damage ... so any comments/explanations would be most welcome.
The easiest "fix" you could do would be to use "SansSerif". In the past, the default value for fontName was not correct in iR/JR.
But if you want a more solid fix, then I suggest you replace everywhere you have fontName="SOME_SANS_FONT" with fontName="DejaVu Sans" and everywhere you have fontName='SOME_SERIF_FONT" with fontName="DejaVu Serif".
You also remove everywhere the pdfFontName, pdfEncoding and isPdfEmbedded, as these are now deprecated and dealt with in the font extension JARs.
You then add the jasperreports-fonts-xxx.jar file to the classpath of your application, because it contains a font extension that provides the above mentioned DejaVu fonts. You can download this font JAR from the same location where you find the JasperReports JAR or project ZIP, at Sourceforge.net.
You would have to give your reports a sanity check again, to see if all texts appear OK, paying special attention to static texts which might have a height that is too small for the new fonts to render properly. In such cases, you either need to increase the height a bit or reduce font size.
If you never played with fonts before, it means you did not generate reports in other languages than English or you did not export to PDF. Because if you did, then you must have used some TTF fonts that support the particular language you used in those reports.
I hope this helps.
Everything works fine on my developer system since there seem to be all fonts installed on that Windows box. The customer runs a SuSE Linux Enterprise server and I ran into the discussed problem after upgrading to 3.6.2.
The quick hack with net.sf.jasperreports.awt.ignore.missing.font=true succeeded but I am interested in a real solution because I have space problems due to missing fonts.
I packed a JAR with Arial TTFs and also tried the jar with the DejaVu font from sourceforge. Unfortunately I get an exception when one of the font jars is within the classpath:
javax.ejb.EJBException: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRStyledTextParser; nested exception is: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRStyledTextParser java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRStyledTextParser at org.jboss.ejb3.interceptor.InvocationContextImpl.proceed(InvocationContextImpl.java:174) at org.jboss.ejb3.interceptor.EJB3InterceptorsInterceptor.invoke(EJB3InterceptorsInterceptor.java:63) at org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.MethodInvocation.invokeNext(MethodInvocation.java:101) at org.jboss.ejb3.entity.TransactionScopedEntityManagerInterceptor.invoke(TransactionScopedEntityManagerInterceptor.java:54) at org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.MethodInvocation.invokeNext(MethodInvocation.java:101)
Without the font jars everything works fine. I read this indicates that different library versions are used. I did a grep in my jboss installation but there is version 3.6.2 installed only.
I think the exception must have a cause down the stack trace. I suspect it is about the Spring jars missing.
The font extension is a Spring-based extension and needs those extra JARs that you can find in the /lib directory of the JR project distribution package.
I hope this helps. Teodor
can it be that "exportFonts" attribute is no longer available in SimpleFontFamily in 3.6.2? If not, the example (fonts.xml) should be modified to not include that.
Furthermore i have a severe problem with the font jar extension mechanism when trying to load OTF fonts.
To my knowledge this should work from java perspective.
System: Java6 on Mac OS X.

The exportFonts method is still there in latest versions. What is the problem you experience with it?
I'm not aware of any way of loading OFT font files in Java.
If you have expertise in this area, please contribute.
hi ,
got a small qn
ive already designed some 40 odd reports with the 'pdffontname' attribute and removing that from every report becomes cumbersome.. is there any way that these reports would run fine(with desired fonts) on a linux server just by adding the font extensions jar to the appn classpath
I trying to generate at report with a ttf font, but also get the JRFontNotFoundException.
I trying to use the DejaVu Sans font.
I using Java EE 6 on Glassfish 3.0. iReport 3.7.1, JasperReport 3.7.1
<font fontName="DejaVu Sans" isUnderline="false" isPdfEmbedded="true"/>
I used Tools/Options/iReport/Fonts to import and "export as extension"
I generate jasperreports-fonts-DejaVu Sans.jar and I put in WEB-INF\\lib
The jasperreports-fonts-DejaVu Sans.jar contains:
- fonts - DejaVuSans.ttf - fonts1273221481231.xml - jasperreports_extension.properties
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
<bean id="fontBean127322148123753178" class="net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fonts.SimpleFontFamily">
<property name="name" value="DejaVu Sans"/>
<property name="normal" value="fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf"/>
<property name="pdfEmbedded" value="true"/>
For bold font in PDF, you need to use a bold TTF font. Check again your font extension (if you use one) and make sure that for bold font you specify a TTF that is really bold. Otherwise, the engine will use the same TTF as for the normal/regular font, hence the problem.
Same thing for italic and bold/italic.
Note that in case you don't have a special bold font file to use, the boldness can be simulated in PDF.
But all this works only if you use fonts from a font extension. Check the samples under /demo/samples in the JR distro and especially the font extension that we ship with the project under /demo/fonts.
iReport has a wizard to create font extension JARs, to deploy with your reports.
I hope this helps.
maybe you could do by
1: Tools->Options->Fonts->Install Font-> ......next....
2: After step 1, then click Export as extension to a jar file.
3: Go to Tools->Options->Classpath to add the jar thar you generated.
I've read all the postings on this subject.
I have generated my Arial.jar file which contains the arial.ttf family fonts. This jar along with the jasperreports-3.7.3, spring-2.5 jars are located on my WAS classpath. When I attempt to generate a report, I get the following exception:

I've attached my Arial.jar file for reference.
Hi, The problem might be caused by the first slash in the /fonts/fonts1298566395082.xml path in the jasperreports_extension.properties file. Try to replace the
fonts/fonts1298566395082.xml Hope this helps, sanda
Thank you Sanda for the help...that was the issue.
The new exception is:
[1894492 --- 8036]2011-02-25 11:49:08,367] [ERROR]: - No input source supplied to the exporter. com.acnielsen.arch.exception.arch.ACNException: No input source supplied to the exporter. at com.acnielsen.espec.bo.util.ExportDataToReportUtility.exportAsExcel(ExportDataToReportUtility.java:235) at com.acnielsen.espec.bo.util.ExportDataToReportUtility.generateJasperReport(ExportDataToReportUtility.java:138) at com.acnielsen.espec.bo.reports.ReportsBO.getReportsBO(ReportsBO.java:109) at com.acnielsen.espec.bo.reports.ScheduleLaterService.generateReportNow(ScheduleLaterService.java:434) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:79) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:618) at com.acnielsen.espec.bo.reports.ScheduleLaterService.run(ScheduleLaterService.java:195) at com.acnielsen.standalone.main.ESpecReportsMain.main(ESpecReportsMain.java:51) Caused by: net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: No input source supplied to the exporter. at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRAbstractExporter.setInput(JRAbstractExporter.java:845) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.export.JRXlsAbstractExporter.exportReport(JRXlsAbstractExporter.java:169) at com.acnielsen.espec.bo.util.ExportDataToReportUtility.exportAsExcel(ExportDataToReportUtility.java:227) ... 9 more
This report worked perfectly fine prior to the upgrade.
Any ideas?
I've figured out what the issue with the no input source found.
The offending code is trying to set the PROPERTY_WRAP_TEXT, boolean.FALSE.
the code is as follows:new JExcelApiExporter();
JExcelApiExporter xlsExporter =
xlsExporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.OUTPUT_FILE_NAME, destFile.toString());new HashMap();if (jasperPrint.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("DroppedUpc") || jasperPrint.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("InstructionSummary"))"65000"));
As soon as the HashMap (m) is set to the parameters, all the previously set parameters are wiped out. Can someone give me some direction on how to set the PROPERTY_WRAP_TEXT properly? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
xlsExporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.INPUT_FILE_NAME, destFile.toString());
xlsExporter.setParameter(JRXlsExporterParameter.INPUT_FILE, sourceFile);
xlsExporter.setParameter(JRXlsExporterParameter.IS_ONE_PAGE_PER_SHEET, Boolean.FALSE);
xlsExporter.setParameter(JRXlsExporterParameter.IS_REMOVE_EMPTY_SPACE_BETWEEN_COLUMNS, Boolean.TRUE);
xlsExporter.setParameter(JRXlsExporterParameter.IS_REMOVE_EMPTY_SPACE_BETWEEN_ROWS, Boolean.TRUE);
xlsExporter.setParameter(JRXlsExporterParameter.MAXIMUM_ROWS_PER_SHEET, Integer.decode(
xlsExporter.setParameter(JRXlsExporterParameter.IS_WHITE_PAGE_BACKGROUND, Boolean.FALSE);
Can someone help me understand the subject of PROPERTY_TEXT_WRAP? I'm seeing that when the data populated in the cell is larger than the cell width, the text is wrapped. Simply put, if the column definition is 50 and the data returned to the cell is 100, the text will wrap. Even if I put the property_text_wrap.False, the text still wraps.
Does anyone have any idea how to prevent text from wrapping?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Even I am using Sans Sarif or DejaVu Sans, I am getting exception for Times Roman, I didn't use Times Roman anywhere in my report. Coul you please advise how do I fix this problem? I am using iReport/Jasperreport 4.1.1 and jdk 7

Forum List » Guru News and Commentaries Guru News, Stock picks and commentaries Daniel Loeb Buys Sotheby's Stake in Winning Streak
Posted by: Holly LaFon
(IP Logged)
Date: August 28, 2013 11:19AM
Some of his high-profile hedge fund colleagues have experienced mixed results from their activist investments recently, but Daniel Loeb has been on a fairly good streak with his biggest bets such as Yahoo (YHOO) and Herbalife (HLF). This week he dove into his next project: art auction house Sotheby's (BID).
Reported on Monday, Loeb purchased a 5.78% stake in the company, equaling 3,925,000 shares, according to GuruFocus Real Time Picks. The 13D filing states that he accumulated the shares in a series of purchases and sells taking place from June 26 through Aug. 23. His purchase prices ranged from $37.64 to $45.76. His hedge fund, Third Point, paid $156,716,025 in aggregate for the shares. As the "purpose of transaction," the filing says: "The Reporting Persons intend to engage in a dialogue with members of the Board or management of the Issuer or other representatives of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons may also engage in a dialogue and other communications regarding the Issuer with other stockholders of the Issuer, knowledgeable industry or market observers (including art market participants), or other persons. Any dialogue or communications with any of the foregoing persons may relate to potential changes of strategy and leadership at the Issuer and proposals that, if effected, may result in one or more of the events described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D." Sotheby's is a London-based company auctioning authenticated fine art, decorative art and jewelry. Year to date, Sotheby's shares have climbed almost 37%, trading for $45.96 after a 2.65% decline on Tuesday. The company has a $3.14 billion market cap. In the past five years, Sotheby's has grown revenue per share at a rate of 6.2%, and EBITDA per share at a rate of 33.6%.
In the second quarter, the company's revenues were almost flat over the prior-year quarter, at $304.8 million. The quarterly commission revenue received a $19.8 million boost from an increase in the buyer's premium rate which took effect on March 15. But contracting sellers' margins weighed on results, as pressure from competition to win high-value consignments intensified. In the future, the company is looking to improvements in its digital media offerings and expansion into China and emerging markets to increase its financial results. Quarterly earnings increased 7% from the prior year, to $91.7 million, primarily due to an income tax benefit. Earnings are down 7% for the first half of the year. Yahoo (YHOO) Last month, Loeb sold down his position in Yahoo by 201%, retaining just 20.6 million shares. He had by the third quarter of 2012 amassed a position of more than 73 million shares, after he began buying copiously in the third quarter of 2011. His activity with the company helped the price surge and has given him about a 100%, or $1 billion profit. Upon selling most of his Yahoo shares, Loeb wrote in his mid-year commentary: "Since Third Point initiated its position, over $15 billion of value has been created, growing the company's market cap from $15 billion to $30 billion today, while over $5.2 billion of cash has been returned to shareholders. Since Third Point made "The Case for Alibaba" in our original investment presentation, our Fourth Quarter 2011 Investor Letter, and on our valueyahoo.com shareholder advocacy website, consensus Wall Street estimates for Alibaba's value have increased from $20 billion to over $80 billion. In addition, and consistent with our views on Japan, Yahoo Japan's value has also more than doubled during this period." He also praised Yahoo's new board members and CEO, Marissa Mayer, who has headed the transformation of the company. Herbalife (HLF) Loeb purchased 3.1 million shares – about 8% -- of Herbalife in the fourth quarter of 2012 when it tumbled in reaction to fellow investor Bill Ackman's presentation eviscerating the company. He also offered his own counter-thesis on the company in his fourth quarter letter, refuting Ackman's three claims about the company: that it is an "illegal pyramid scheme," that its customers and distributors had been exploited and harmed and that its products are sold at inflated prices. In his fourth quarter letter, he said: We believe that continued strong operating performance combined with disciplined capital return could easily send the stock back towards its April highs. Let's not forget: the business itself is performing well. Volume, revenue and earnings are all growing double digits and the balance sheet is largely unlevered. Management has a history of returning 100% of net income to shareholders in the form of dividends and buybacks. If management were to deploy its existing $950 million buyback authorization in the $40-45 range (only taking leverage to approximately 1.5x), we estimate that run-rate EPS for 2013 could be $5.50-5.70 using the reduced share count. Applying a modest 10-12x earnings multiple suggests Herbalife's shares are worth $55-$68, offering 40-70% upside from here and making the company a compelling long investment for Third Point. Loeb then closed out his Herbalife position in the first quarter when the price averaged $38.84 – up from the roughly $26 per share December low. If he had held on slightly longer, shares eventually did reach his $55 to $68 intrinsic value range. Herbalife share price: Besides Yahoo, Loeb's top holdings are AIG (AIG), Liberty Global Group Inc. (LBTYA) and Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (TMO), up 42%, 19% and 17%, respectively, from his average purchase price. See Daniel Loeb's portfolio here.

Local residents can help keep CARTA bus stops clean through the new Adopt-a-Stop litter reduction and prevention program.
Officials from the Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority and Keep Charleston Beautiful said the effort aims to remove trash from select, uncovered CARTA bus stops in the city limits.
"We're very excited about this program and the positive environmental and aesthetic impacts Adopt-a-Stop can have in Charleston," said CARTA Executive Director Christine Wilkinson.
More than 370 bus stops qualify for the program.
"There is plenty of opportunity for individual citizens, businesses and community groups to get involved," she said.
Those interested can request a stop from Keep Charleston Beautiful, which will confirm availability. Once an adoption application is received and approved, Keep Charleston Beautiful will provide a "Colorful Can" painted by local students for the CARTA bus stop.
Adopters will receive a supply of 50-gallon trash bags, a safety vest, gloves and a pick-up stick. As part of the program, they will empty the trash can and pick up loose trash at the stop at least once a week.
For more information on the Adopt-a-Stop program, visit www.keepcharlestonbeautiful.org, or call Jenn Scales at 843-579-7501.

PayPal takes on Apple Pay and Google Wallet with $280m Paydiant buy
Nokia Siemens Networks has agreed to sell off its optical networking business in what the company said was an effort to focus on the mobile broadband space.
Under the deal, the company will sell its Optical Networks branch to investment firm Marlin Equity Partners. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Nokia Siemens said that the sell-off was part of an effort to focus its resources on the mobile broadband market. The company has been in the process of a corporate shakeup which has included cutting 17,000 jobs.
"During 2012 Nokia Siemens Networks has made tremendous progress in the transformation of our company to being the world's mobile broadband specialist," said Nokia Siemens chief executive Rajeev Suri.
"Our strategic focus on our core markets has enabled us to concentrate our energy and investment in areas such as LTE where we have strengthened our global leadership position."
Optical Networks, meanwhile, will continue to operate and will be spun off as an independent company with headquarters in Munich.
Ovum network infrastructure telecoms analyst Dana Cooperson said that stiff competition in the optical space could cloud the long-term outlook for the new firm.
"Competitors will take advantage of this ownership change and related confusion to gain any advantage in Nokia Siemens Network's accounts," Cooperson explained.
"Marlin's goal may be to sell the optical business to another vendor, for example Juniper Networks."

Pete Dexter | |
Born | Pontiac, Michigan | July 22, 1943
Occupation | Novelist, screenwriter |
Genre | Fiction |
Pete Dexter (born July 22, 1943) is an American novelist.[1][2][3]
Dexter won the U.S. National Book Award in 1988 for his novel Paris Trout.[4]
Dexter was born in Pontiac, Michigan. When his father died, Dexter was four and he and his mother moved to Milledgeville, Georgia, where she married a college physics professor.[5]
He was a columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News,[1] The Sacramento Bee,[6] and syndicated to many newspapers such as the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Prior to that he worked for what is now The Palm Beach Post in West Palm Beach, Florida, but quit in 1972 because the paper's owners forced the editorial page editor to endorse Richard Nixon over George McGovern.[7]
He began writing fiction after a life-changing 1981 incident in which a mob of locals in the neighborhood of Schuylkill, armed with baseball bats and upset by a recent column about a drug deal-gone-wrong murder, beat the writer severely. The brother of the homicide victim was a bartender at a local bar in the Schuylkill neighborhood and Dexter went to the bar to talk to him because the family had called the newspaper to complain. Dexter was roughed up at that meeting and later returned with his friend heavyweight prizefighter Randall "Tex" Cobb. In the fight that occurred outside the bar in the street, Cobb received a broken arm that cost him a shot at WBA heavyweight champion Mike Weaver., and Dexter was hospitalized with several injuries, including a broken back, pelvic bone, brain damage, and dental devastation.[8]
Dexter lives and writes on Whidbey Island in Puget Sound, Washington state.[5][7][8]
Paper Trails, published in 2007, is a compilation of columns he wrote for the Philadelphia Daily News and The Sacramento Bee from the 1970s to the 1990s.

The Isolated Animist: Respectful Relationships in Postmodern Individualism
As above so below, within as without, except for with other people. I've worked with others as a modern shaman since 2000, and the hardest facet of that role to impart is creating balanced relationship with All Things--especially each other--and live it in our "I" culture. It's easy to feel interrelated in trance, to idealize it in solitude, but to reach beyond the isolation of how capitalistic culture has created us and fosters us poses significant challenges. We end up living the collective experience alone. In this blog I explore new approaches to being an introverted, suburban American animist in an individualist culture, and living that connection out loud.
Kelley Harrell
As I deeply value thriving in the connection with All Things, I make an effort to live that truth. There's no one way or right way, and when you're a cyclic person, that fact becomes evident right away.
...In the Betwixt series focusing on mundane support for skywalking seekers, we've talked about reciprocity with guides, taking the baton from guides, and finding etheric support in the life force around us. What about that of our immediate formed community, as in the people around us? How do they fit into our spiritual, if not animistic, Dream Team? How do we decide who should be on our Team?
...Tiwaz - Tyr/Thor/Tuisto- I always enjoy seeing this Rune come up in a cast, though I understand why some might have mixed feelings about it. Maybe more than any other Rune, Tiwaz speaks of final hurrahs and the eleventh hour, and all the emotions that come with pulling our dreams out of the fire.
I think of Tiwaz as the "drama" Rune, in the sense that it forces us to deal with the current state of things, as they are about to be upheaved, and us with them. Moreover, it requires that the current state won't change without sacrifice.
...Hagalaz - Hail- Fitting that this Rune presents itself today, as most of my region is plunged into the bitterest cold its seen since the mid-1990s.
Regardless of where you're located, this stave speaks of being frozen metaphorically, likewise berated by the elements. Indeed, as fun as it sounds.
...Mannaz - human- Again we have another reversed Rune presenting us with an opportunity to go deeper within. As Mannaz reminds us of the strength in human connection, the power of acting with All That Is, so it's merkstave position calls us to be aware of when we are not connected, when we don't feel part of the greater flow. Note that Mannaz is pictured upright, or bright-stave.
Last week, Eihwaz encouraged us to change, and Mannaz may be asking us to sit with the effects of that change. It calls us to put down rational thinking and go with gut feeling, which for some may be frightening to do.
...The origins of our holy day icons are significant, though it's easy to get ensnared in what symbols you "should" honor, what they're "supposed to mean," who gets to claim them, and understanding what they really mean to you. For that reason, in this exploration of seasonal totems I offer the entire Internet for you to peruse and learn about the symbols that have the most meaning to you at this time of year. My hope is that through sharing the seasonal totems that mean the most to me, that others are encouraged to cull out the holiday symbols that move them, connect with their power and bring them more deeply into personal holiday celebrations.
Totems, for most shamanists, are largely revered as soul animal kindred, though those who know me recall that I work extensively with plant and elemental spirits. Bear in mind as I explore the possibilities of holiday power allies that when I refer to totems I include animals, plants, minerals and elements. Generally speaking, totems are complex symbols that move us in some way. For me, the power of totems extends through several layers. I greet them as archetypes -- collective traits found through the particular species, as spirits of nature, as an energetic manifestation specifically visiting me, which some refer to as "Unverified Personal Gnosis" (UPG), and as creatures of the wild, drawing from study of the totem's behavior, habitat and anatomy.

The MagazineA Cabinet at WarHow Roosevelt managed World War II.Dec 30, 2002, Vol. 8, No. 16
• By ALVIN S. FELZENBERG
Though he was wrong about postwar policy towards Germany, Morgenthau was right in pushing the administration to do more about the plight of Jews in Europe. At his insistence, Roosevelt overruled the State Department and allowed a small number of Jewish refugees into the country. Because of Morgenthau's relentless prodding, Roosevelt eventually established a War Refugee Board charged with the task of rescuing Jews as Allied forces advanced against the Nazis. (Under its auspices, Swedish banker Raoul Wallenberg was sent to Hungary, where he saved thousands of lives.) Morgenthau worried that Roosevelt--his Hyde Park neighbor--would look upon his entreaties as "special pleading," but he nonetheless pressed on. The same conscience that drove him led him to conduct an investigation after the war as to whether his deputy, Harry Dexter White, had manipulated him into pushing policies that might favor the Soviet Union. (White was later identified as a Soviet agent. Stalin certainly had much to gain by a weaker Germany.) OF ALL THE BATTLES Morgenthau lost, the most controversial remains the American decision not to bomb the death camps or the railroads leading to them. Prior historians have placed the blame on Morgenthau's nemesis, McCloy. But Beschloss suggests that though the voice was McCloy's, the decision was Roosevelt's. Though the British were both able and willing to take this step, they deferred to their senior partner. Roosevelt and McCloy saw it as a distraction from the main objective of winning the war. Beschloss argues that their failure to act deprived the Allies of the opportunity to "deliver a moral statement . . . that the Americans and the British understood the historical gravity of the Holocaust." In ruling out this option, Roosevelt let pass an opportunity to redefine the objectives of the most devastating war in history. Just as Lincoln transformed the Civil War from a "struggle to save the Union" into a crusade to abolish slavery, Roosevelt had it within his grasp to record the United States as firmly and irrevocably against genocide. Had he done that, Roosevelt might have bequeathed a less murky legacy to his successors. Morgenthau lost the struggle for the president's heart and mind. But the argument he started goes on. Right though he was about postwar German policy and much else, Harry Truman was dead wrong about Morgenthau. He told cronies that Roosevelt's Treasury secretary was a nut and a blockhead "who did not know sh-t from apple butter." Actually, the man Roosevelt delighted in calling "Henry the Morgue" knew a hell of a lot. Alvin S. Felzenberg writes and lectures about the American presidency. He is editor of "Keys to a Successful Presidency." |

Rich and Carrie Garfield are still suffering from sticker shock after entering the housing market in the spring and getting outbid three times for homes -- even after offering as much as 20 percent over the listed price.
Real estate agents and brokers say buyers should expect more of the same as the fall selling season gets underway after the Labor Day holiday. Factors that left the Garfields disappointed in the spring are still in play: low inventories of homes for sale, strong pent-up demand from the recent recession, and fears that mortgage rates are only headed higher.
These factors have already helped push median sales prices above the 2005 peak in more than 60 Massachusetts communities, according Warren Group, a real estate tracking firm.
