Grails Render PDF Plugin returns NullPointerException

Question

I'm trying to render a pdf file with render plugin. My controller code is:

def toPDF(){
    DomainClass domainClass = DomainClass.get(params.id)


    try{
        renderPdf(template: "/domainClass/pdf", model: [domain: domainClass], filename: System.currentTimeMillis().toString() + "_" + domainClass.id.toString() + ".pdf")
    }catch(e){
        redirect action: "error"
    }

}

In development mode, it works properly. But in production, this action throws NullPointerException

I already try this mode:

def render = g.render(template: "/domainClass/pdf",
            model: [domain: domain])

    ITextRenderer renderer = new ITextRenderer()
    ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream()
    byte[] b
    renderer.setDocumentFromString(render.toString());
    renderer.layout()
    renderer.createPDF(baos)
    b = baos.toByteArray()
    def filename = "file.pdf"

    response.setContentType("application/pdf")
    response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=${filename}")
    response.setContentLength(b.length)
    response.getOutputStream().write(b)

What can I do to fix this problem?

This problem was solved when I remove custom fonts inside css file. I changed these fonts to default sans-serif font and now is all working right.
