jasper reports - Could not initialize class net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRStyledTextParser

Question

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

the strange thing about this, is that it only happens when I attempt to generate the reports from the version installed on the server, but not when I do it locally from my pc

Have you any idea why this is happening ?

Answer 1

For those still running into this issue: on Ubuntu Server 12.04 with headless OpenJDK JRE, it was simply solved by

apt-get install ttf-dejavu-extra
