    Hi Community

     

    The problem was indeed the unix server lacking the font "package".

    After installing the fonts required the Project Reports ( both XML and PDF) were generated accordingly.

Hi,
 
Found this in soapUI-errors.log on the Jenkins server:
 
net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRFontNotFoundException: Font "Arial" is not available to the JVM. See the Javadoc for more details.
 

And then I saw the following information on Smartbear (https://support.smartbear.com/readyapi/docs/testing/reports/existing/about.html)

 
-----------------------------------------
Fonts in Linux
ReadyAPI reports use some of Microsoft core fonts. Not all Linux installations include these fonts. If you have issues with creating reports:
  1. Install the mscorefonts package applicable for your Linux distributive.
  2. Copy TTF files from /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts to the <ReadyAPI Installation>/jre/lib/fontsdirectory.
Make sure to specify the <ReadyAPI Installation>/bin/reports directory in the Custom Reports Library field of the ReadyAPI tab in the Preferences window.
 -----------------------------------------------
So I created a jira ticket asking our DevOps if they could add fonts according to the instructions above.
Awaiting their response and then I'll try again and see if this solves the problem
 
Best regards
