Tip : Excel export font size is decreased by 1 in Jasper Reports

Hi ,
This post is about the issue while exporting the reports to Excel in Jasper Reports.

Problem Statement : 
Set font size of text field 10 and export it to excel from Jasper server. You will find size for text field as 9 instead of actual size.

Report Level settings :
In Report properties add this property
net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.font.size.fix.enabled= false 

By default above property is true

Server Level settings : 

 # To set the fontSizeFixEnabled property to false.

 # It is available in xlsExportParameters bean that can be found in WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml file.

 # By default this property is set to true, causing the observed font decrease. 

# After restarting the server, fonts should appear with their actual size.
