I'm trying to make my reports work with a translations bundle. No matter what I try, I can't seem to render UTF-8 for any language - I just get two broken characters for every UTF-8 character. My report starts with this: <code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?></code> ...but iReport preview doesn't work, and my actual code has this: <pre><code>JRProperties.setProperty("net.sf.jasperreports.default.pdf.encoding", "UTF-8"); exporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.CHARACTER_ENCODING, "UTF-8") </code></pre> Neither seems to be able to output UTF-8. What could possibly be going on here? I'm pulling my hair out. Even with the font set to <code>Arial</code>, I'm having issues. My web-app is using the same font and similar bundles with Grails, and I have no issues there, so something is happening specific to jasperreports. EDIT: I thought byte order markers may have been the issue, but it isn't. I've created a basic report that shows the failure in 4.0.2. Here's the resource bundle: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/cqmVb.png" alt="Greek properties file"> And the output in iReport: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/hg5Jn.png" alt="enter image description here"> And here's the <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5142994/stackoverflow/report1.jrxml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">report</a>, and the <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5142994/stackoverflow/report.properties" rel="nofollow noreferrer">properties</a> file used to observe these results. Nore information: When the properties files are saved in ANSI encoding, I can get all german characters, including ä and ß. When the properties files are saved as UTF-8, only ASCII characters work.
