Font is not available to the JVM with Jasper Reports

I'm trying to generate report with DynamicJasper, but I'm getting the following error:

net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRFontNotFoundException:  
                                 Font 'Arial' is not available to the JVM.

msttcorefonts is installed, but I guess the JVM is not using any fonts from it.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.

How can I fix this?

Solution

  • I tried installing mscorefonts, but the package was installed and up-to-date.

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

    I tried searching for the font in the filesystem, with:

    ls /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/

    This folder just had the README, with the correct instructions on how to install. 

    cat /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/README

    You need an internet connection for this:

    sudo apt-get install --reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer

    I re-installed ttf-mscorefonts-installer (as shown above, making sure to accept the EULA!) and the problem was solved.
