How does JVM access fonts
mrzliJul 7 2006 — edited Nov 22 2012Hi,
I have a simple java source for generating reports in PDF (using jasperreports). It works fine in oracle 10gR2 on windows, but when i load the same source in Oracle 10gR2 on SLES9 it crashes (ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [gl_getScriptFont()+88] [SIGSEGV] [Address not mapped to object] [0x50] [] []).
I suspect it has to be something with fonts and how JVM handles them in WIN/UNIX environment. When i remove all the text from report (still have some shape in it) it works.
Tryed everything I could remember - installed true type fonts in linux, tryed to modify font.properties, removed all the fonts except sans-serif... but nothing helped.
If anyone knows how does JVM handle fonts on linux (or what can cause above error) - please help.
Thanks,
Mrzli.
