I am using AWS Elasti Beanstalk to power one of my apps. In this I need to export a svg document to png,jpg, pdf etc. For this I use Apache Batik library. This provides excellent output on my local dev workstation but as soon as I deploy it on the EBS I start getting errors, all related to fonts.
The error stacktrace was -
Caused by: java.lang.Error: Probable fatal error:No fonts found.

So I tried installing fonts as one other stackoverflow answer suggests. But this gave me a new error stacktrace -

I dont understand why is this happening. Then I set System.setProperty("java.awt.headless", "true"); just before I make a call to batik's transcoder. But this also generate the above error message. I am running out of options.
Am I missing something? Can I do anything to add more context to this? Thanks for the help.
I finally resolved this problem by installing Sun JDK & using it to power my tomcat server.
