Hi Mark !

Thanks for your answer! I try to install Fonts used for charts follow by link above but it still not show on Font list of Ubuntu server. Could you please help me how to install font on ubuntu for Fonts used for charts?

Hi Cuong,

We have had a similar issue with this in the past, and we resolved this by following the below:

The way Java resolves its fonts, and fallback fonts for languages depends on the operating system its installed on. For Windows and Mac this seems to “just work” and the default “SansSerif” font just gets mapped appropriately and java is able to resolve the missing characters via fallbacks. For Linux however, things are more manual.

As there are several Linux distributions, with different sets of fonts, Java has a set of font configuration files for the major distributions (see https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/intl/fontconfig.html#loading) This lists the fonts it expects to find, for various languages.

This was then tested with Ubuntu Linux 14, installing the missing fonts with the following command:

sudo apt-get install fontconfig-config fontconfig fonts-arphic-uming fonts-wqy-zenhei fonts-wqy-microhei ttf-indic-fonts-core fonts-lklug-sinhala fonts-vlgothic ttf-kochi-gothic ttf-kochi-mincho fonts-ipafont-mincho fonts-nanum fonts-dejavu ttf-baekmuk fonts-unfonts-extra fonts-unfonts-core

Theres quite a few files that come with java ($JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/fontconfig.*) that are useful to determine the missing fonts. Please try installing the font packs and let us know if this resolves the issue.

Let me know how you get on Cuong.
