As far as i see the reason for this behavior is not located in the demo but in the constructors of TFPReportCustomBand and TFPReportCustomMemo. The setting of the field FUseParentFont has no effect. Deleting the line which sets FUseParentFont and adding the setting of the property UseParentFont to true after the creation of FFont will solve the problem. As i am not able to create a patch against trunk i post the changes here. In both constructors it should look like //FUseParentFont := True; FFont := TFPReportFont.Create; UseParentFont := True; Gerd ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Hello,

(for windows) is NOT SET by default. This is the first issue. And where
should the fallback found ? It can not be found too, because no path to
the system font dir was set.
The paths are set in udapp.pp, line 257 and following:
procedure TReportRunner.RunReport(AFileName : string);
begin
// specify what directories should be used to find TrueType fonts
gTTFontCache.SearchPath.Add(Location+'/fonts/');
{$IFDEF UNIX}
gTTFontCache.SearchPath.Add(GetUserDir + '.fonts/');
gTTFontCache.SearchPath.Add('/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/');
gTTFontCache.SearchPath.Add('/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/');
{$ENDIF}
The question is still: why is it looking for Arial ?
I understand that it is the fallback/default font, but since the font is set
explicitly to liberation sans, which exists in the fonts subdir, the
Arial font should not be searched to begin with. If the demo looks for it on
windows, I would like to know why.
Your solution of reading standard system fonts will of course also help
since that will search the windows fonts dir, but the intention of the
demos was to be able to work without using the system fonts.
So I come back to my initial question: why is it looking for Arial ?

It looks like the demos didnt use the gTTFontCache.ReadStandardFonts and so the standard font is not found. If i change in udapp.pp procedure TReportRunner.RunReport(AFileName : string); ... // ask to generate the font cache gTTFontCache.ReadStandardFonts; // implies gTTFontCache.BuildFontCache; ... the report is now built, but the rendere of pdf in fpreportpdfexport.pp have the same issue with not find font arial. It is not logical for me. gTTFontCache is built correct for the report, why is the renderer not found the font ? Is the renderer use another fontcache ?!
