FPReport testing

[JZS]

Cont., later when working with the data, an error about Missing Font will be triggered "LiberationSans":
Downloaded from here and it worked.
Still finding out a way to generate a sample though.

Many thanks Graeme and Lazarus Team.

Well I've been looking forward to this for a long time. Many thanks to Graeme & the development team. I want to know if it is possible to export reports to the RTF format. I have a use case at the moment where reports generated need to be modifiable in Microsoft Word. The RTF format is the closest I think of to Microsoft Word.

Thanks,

JD

GDB itself crashes when I am playing around with the report designer component. maybe my SVN build is bad?

There is no RTF exporter for fpReport. Contributions are obviously very welcome. You might be able to use the HTML Exporter for now, as Microsoft Word and LibreOffice Writer can edit HTML and then resave that in another format like DOC, ODT or RTF.

OK Thanks. I'll see what I can do with that.

Thanks Pascal. Now I got it working. It was the "zlib1.dll" that was missing to be placed next to the FreeType DLL.

JZS, how did you fix the freetype-6.dll loading? i still have same problem.

What error message did you get? Was it same as the one I attached?

Is the dll in search path? If in doubt put it in the same folder as lazarus.exe

There is a thread discussing the same topic, but relevant messages got a bit lost there:

freetype (for windows) is part of gnuwin.

Don't forget to download the dependency archive as well (you need zlib dll from that) and store that next to your freetype dll.

More information is available in that thread, you could probably do with starting with my quoted message and read downwards.

See the lazdbexport package via Lazarus Package menu --> Install\Uninstall package list. You can export to RTF data from DBGrids and, I think, other data sources though I could be wrong there. I've just used it for exporting data to CSV and I noticed RTF was an option
