Question

I\'m trying to display my reports on the browser , but I keep getting this error:

Answer 1

There are 2 steps to solve this problem.

1. -Djaav.awt.headless=true in startup script or vm options

2. Install the fonts

   yum install fontconfig

Then you can verify

rpm -qa | grep font
fontpackages-filesystem-1.44-8.el7.noarch
dejavu-fonts-common-2.33-6.el7.noarch
fontconfig-2.13.0-4.3.el7.x86_64
dejavu-sans-fonts-2.33-6.el7.noarch

This is on CentOS 7. We had been using Google Noto fonts and thought that we do not need any font installation but was wrong.
