jasperreports studio - hard to get the column header to line up with the detail

I have headers/details in the jasper reports studio. everything about this works wonderful minus one annoying thing I have to constantly line up the column headers with the details to make the alignments act correctly... even though i match the alignment exactly in the designer.

This is probably because I have a different font style on Header versus detail... or something? I'm not sure.

I can workaround the issue by manually tweaking X-coords, export the report, make sure they line up, until it looks nice... resulting in a designer like this:

Shows the issue with alignment of header versus column

Notice how I moved the values in the Detail 1 band to the left so that the report with actual values lines up the columns correctly.

I must just be doing something wrong right? Why do I have to do this manual tweak to get things to look ok?

It seems that the cells in "Detail 1" are set to display centralized text while the ones in the "Column Header" are left aligned. Try left aligning the text in the Detail 1's cells and see if things work out.

I had the same issue when using Jaspersoft Studio. I'd recommend you to use iReport instead, it's much more convenient for JRXML development and does not have this annoying issue in fields alignment.
