Render Report on Linux with .NET Core?

[ednt]

Hello,
is it possible to render and export a report as pdf on a linux server with the nuget package Stimulsoft.Reports.Engine.NetCore?
Is it generally possible to render and export a report on linux?

At the moment we get the error:

Unable to load shared library 'gdi32.dll'

A dll on Linux is not the right lib format

Hello,

You should install libgdiplus library on your linux server.

Thank you.

Hello,
We have libgdiplus installed on our server.
But we get this error:

Is there no solution?

Hello,

Please, check the next option. It should be disabled.

Code: Select all

StiOptions.Export.Pdf.AllowImportSystemLibraries

Thank you.

Hello,
first thank you for your reply!
Yes now it works under linux, but we have an other problem, now.
We create the reports with our stimulsoft-app under windows, but if we send them via email we render the report under linux.
But now the Fonts are false.
The question is: How can i store the fonts in the reports in our windows-client and use them under linux to render the report?

[Lech Kulikowski]

Hello,

You can add fonts in the report resources or in font collection by the code:
Stimulsoft.Base.StiFontCollection.AddFontFile("font.ttf");

Thank you.
