Hi All,


After trying to make this work for days I found out the component I was using maybe wasn't the right one.
So I switched it to tfpjsonReport now I can preview the report in design time, during runtime it gives me that message.
I am attaching the source code.

fprPersonListing.LoadFromFile(ExtractFilePath(ParamStr(0)) + '\Reports\PersonListing.json');
fprPersonListing.RunReport;
fprPersonListing.RenderReport(fprPreview);

Thanks in advance,

Jose.

If that helps I am using Windows 10 and the Arial font is not missing.
Any ideas?
I don't want to give up on CT, but I am getting to the point where it's too much time wasted.

Try this
go to
C:\codetyphon\CodeOcean\pl_FontEngine\samples\xmedia\
and copy arial.ttf to your app folder

Putting Arial.ttf in the project folder does not help.

I spent a couple of days digging.
In the FPReport source code I found out that for some reason this is not working:

lFC := gTTFontCache.FindFont(Font.Name); ===>>>> Font.Name in this case is 'Arial'
if not Assigned(lFC) then ====>>>> IFC is nil here, so the above line does not return the font object
raise EReportFontNotFound.CreateFmt(SErrFontNotFound, [Font.Name]);


This is a problem with the code in fpTTF that might be related with Windows 10. I wonder if there's an update to this function.
This is located in: \codetyphon\fpc\fpc64\units\x86_64-win64\fcl-pdf
Unfortunately I can't keep digging.

Thanks,

Jose.

I created a program to get the list of fonts in the fpTTF class.
That should help since all fonts are listed there, but still fpReport can't fint it on the list.
I hope this helps, I am still a noobie here.

I think we found the problem
please, go to

C:\codetyphon\typhon\components\lz_FpReport\source\base\fpreportpdfexport.pp

replace line 126
fnt := gTTFontCache.Find(AFontName); // we are doing a PostScript Name lookup (it contains Bold, Italic info)
with
fnt := gTTFontCache.FindFont(AFontName); //=== ct9999 ======

and the same...

C:\codetyphon\typhon\components\lz_FpReport\source\base\fpreportfpimageexport.pp

replace line 199
fnt := gTTFontCache.Find(AFontName); // we are doing a PostScript Name lookup (it contains Bold, Italic info)
with
fnt := gTTFontCache.FindFont(AFontName); //=== ct9999 ====

1) Put fixes above in FpReport source.

2) copy C:\codetyphon\CodeOcean\pl_FontEngine\samples\xmedia\arial.ttf
to your FpReport font folder

We get the same with error with you, without arial.ttf



with arial.ttf in FpReport font folder, ALL OK




The above CodeOcean sample project is:

I tried running that project,. fcldemo, but nothing happens.
It compiles, but that's it.

It's NOT GUI app.
Look at fcldemo.ctpr out directory
C:\codetyphon\CodeOcean\lz_FpReport\samples\xbin\

fcldemo app build fpreportdemo-grouping2.pdf

Yes, the report is there.
It's a wonder why it does not work in an application.
Folder issues maybe?

Maybe,
without your app full source we can't give you more help

FpReport it's a new package and maybe has problems.
We try to fix all problems but .... :huh:

I used the Address Book sample to duplicate the problem.
I am attaching the whole project.

A) Solution A

-First of All
make a folder "fonts" into your addrbook app
copy to new "fonts" folder arial.ttf from CodeOcean Samples

-In Report1.json Line 89 replace "Arial-BoldMT" with "Arial"

-In your main app unit frmmain
add to uses fpTTF unit

uses
  SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,
  Dialogs, DB, Dbf, Grids, DBGrids, DBCtrls, ExtCtrls, ActnList, Menus,
  StdCtrls, Buttons, fpjsonreport, fpreportdb, fpreportformexport,
  fpTTF,    //<<<<==== ct9999 ====
  FPReport;

and 2 lines at
procedure TMainForm.btPrintClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
                                               
  gTTFontCache.SearchPath.Add('fonts/'); //<<<== ct9999 ==============
  gTTFontCache.BuildFontCache;              //<<<== ct9999 ==============

  FPJSONReport1.LoadFromFile(ExtractFilePath(ParamStr(0)) + 'Report1.json');
  FPJSONReport1.RunReport;
  FPJSONReport1.RenderReport(FPExport);
end;

gTTFontCache is Variable in fpTTF.pp

I think now you can continue by your self... :)

Excellent!!!

I changed it a bit.
I added LCLIntf to the uses clause and changed the lines to update the font cache to:
gTTFontCache.SearchPath.Add(GetEnvironmentVariable('WINDIR') + '\Fonts\');
gTTFontCache.BuildFontCache;

This way all fonts in windows work.

Thanks for your help!
