Hi,

I have deployed an old JasperReleaseIntegration application into a Payara Docker server. Unfortunately, I get this error:
type Exception report

messageInternal Server Error

descriptionThe server encountered an internal error that prevented it from fulfilling this equest.

exception

net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRFontNotFoundException: Font 'Tahoma' is not available to the JVM. See the Javadoc for more details.

note The full stack traces of the exception and its root causes are available in the Payara Server 5.2020.5 #badassfish logs.

The font is located in the same directory as the reports files. Can you please tell me how to tell Payara to search for this font?

Hi, copy the font into the jdk/lib/fonts-directory. If there is no fonts-directory then create one. I had a similar problem with Crystal Reports.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I didn't find any jdk/lib folder. Should I create it also?

BR,

Dan

Hi,

i meant your JDK installation. You need a JDK to run the Payara server. Open the JDK folder and navigate to the lib-Folder. And in this lib-Folder should be a fonts-Folder. If not, create one and copy the font into it.

Thank you for your advice. It works!

I've created a fonts folder in /usr/lib/jvm/zulu8/jre/lib - the openjdk path provided by payara docker container, copied the fonts and restart the container.
