title: How can I test if my font is rendered correctly in pdf?
body: <p>When using different fonts in jasper report, you need to use <a href="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/sample.reference/fonts/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">font-extensions</a>.</p>
  
  <p>However if the font is <strong>not rendered correctly</strong> is there a way that I can test if the font is supported by pdf so that I can understand if the problem is related to my font-extensions or to my <code>.ttf</code> font?</p>
  
  <p><em>The incorrect rendering of font when exporting to pdf from jasper reports is a common problem example <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34041619/jasper-reports-pdf-doesnt-export-cyrillic-values">Jasper Reports PDF doesn&#39;t export cyrillic values</a>, as seen in checklist point 1 using font-extensions are not always enough, the font need's also to be supported by pdf generating library and able to render the actual character. This is why I have decided to pass this Q-A style questions, so that future user when hitting checklist 1 can have a reference on how to quickly test the font.</em></p>
