Cannot load font in JRE 8

Question

I cannot load a font from an S3 Inputstream in JRE 8. I do not have issue if a system is installed with JRE 7, JDK 7, or even JDK 8.

val fontInputStream = s3         


        

Answer 1

On CentOS headless JRE is missing the fontconfig dependency:

yum install fontconfig

Also one might need to install at least one font (dejavu, liberation, etc).
