The example report you posted looks like it has a top level table that
contains everything in the report. If you set its master page to the
new one it should work. You should not have to set any other.

Thanks Jason. Again you solved it!!!
If you have time I will be thankful to take a look at this my problem I am having some difficulties when exporting to PDF http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/351229/ maybe I must do some settings for localization letters problem because they are presented differently. You can see them in above report you have downloaded earlier.

Thank You,

I am not exactly sure how Maximo runs reports and also how the
fontsConfig file is configured.

Ok Jason thanks.

But do you know are there any settings within the BIRT for exporting to PDF? some export to PDF options or something like that?
Also is it possible to change encoding somewhere in BIRT? Maybe that is causing the problem...maybe I can try to change encoding...

Thanks

Do you mean within the report itself? I do not know of any setting in
the report that would cause this issue. This looks like a fonts config
issue to me.

Yes I mean within the report itself or some global setting for encoding, or exporting to PDF.

Whatever font I use it always exports me in this hardly readable font look.

I found out that solution is to modify fontsConfig file.

But do I have to modify fontsConfig or fontsConfig_pdf file?

Is it enough to I change that file only on my local computer not and on the server? Because BIRT I have only on my local machine and I import report on server...
Can you give me some inputs how to modify it?I mean what do I have to change... On Linux system does I have to have installed some font family?

I found some solution if you have minut to look at it. Thanos Kyritsis gives explanantion for Cyrilic and also for Greek Letters.

I did as he said:
This is my new fontConfig_pdf file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<font-aliases>
<mapping name="serif" font-family="Times New Roman" />
<mapping name="sans-serif" font-family="Arial" />
<mapping name="monospace" font-family="Courier" />
</font-aliases>
<font-encodings>
<encoding font-family="Times New Roman" encoding="Cp1252" />
<encoding font-family="Arial" encoding="Cp1252" />
<encoding font-family="Courier" encoding="Cp1252" />
<encoding font-family="Zapfdingbats" encoding="Cp1252" />
<encoding font-family="Symbol" encoding="Cp1252" />
<encoding font-family="STSong-Light" encoding="UniGB-UCS2-H" />
<encoding font-family="STSongStd-Light" encoding="UniGB-UCS2-H" />
<encoding font-family="MHei-Medium" encoding="UniCNS-UCS2-H" />
<encoding font-family="MSung-Light" encoding="UniCNS-UCS2-H" />
<encoding font-family="MSungStd-Light" encoding="UniCNS-UCS2-H" />
<encoding font-family="HeiseiMin-W3" encoding="UniJIS-UCS2-H" />
<encoding font-family="HeiseiKakuGo-W5" encoding="UniJIS-UCS2-H" />
<encoding font-family="KozMinPro-Regular" encoding="UniJIS-UCS2-H" />
<encoding font-family="HYGoThic-Medium" encoding="UniKS-UCS2-H" />
<encoding font-family="HYSMyeongJo-Medium" encoding="UniKS-UCS2-H" />
<encoding font-family="HYSMyeongJoStd" encoding="UniKS-UCS2-H" />
</font-encodings>
<composite-font name="all-fonts">


</composite-font>


What is the mistake then?
Thank you

sorry I forgot link above https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=362057

Also I found solution that for Central European letters I need to change encoding from Cp1252" to encoding="Cp1250" on link http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21370210 but big question is when it will take effect?
I change that, created new report but still when exporting to PDF it is not displayed correctly. Is it enough to just change that XML file on my local machine? When I import that new file on server, modifications in fontsConfig file will take effect?Or do I have to do something more? Thanks

The fonts config file should be changed on both the designer and the
deployed environment.
