if you have problems displaying UTF-8 characters in the pdf, no need to do anything! Just change the font of the cells in the table from sanserif to Dejavu sans. thats it.

In order to enable unicode support in output PDF file you have to:

  1. Add jasperreports-fonts-x.x.x.jar to project's classpath
  2. In iReport select external font for textboxes and static text elements. Usually, it is DejaVu fonts

This is solution for latest versions of JasperReports (tested on 4.5.0)
