Postscript Support in BIRT 2.2.2

Simon_K

Hello

I am trying to generate Postscript by using BIRT 2.2.2 and Java 1.5.
The code (see below) to generate the Postscript completes without getting an error.
But when i am want to print the postscript over a javax.print.PrintService i get a strange behaviour:
- Umlaut-Characters (ä, ö, ü) will not appear on the printed document.
- As soon the document contains a font different from "serif", the document will not be printet at all.


Is there anything i'm doing wrong?
Is this a bug in BIRT?

RenderOption options = new RenderOption();
options.setOutputFormat("postscript");
options.setOutputStream(outputStream);

IRunAndRenderTask task = reportEngine.createRunAndRenderTask(design);
task.setAppContext(myAppContext);
task.setRenderOption(options);
task.setLocale(locale);
task.run();

PrintService printService = null;
PrintService[] printServices = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null);

for (PrintService ps : printServices) {
if (ps.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(printer)) {
printService = ps;
}
}

DocPrintJob dpj = printService.createPrintJob();
dpj.print(d, null);
