As suggested in many forms I checked system properties ,  and property java.awt.headless=true  is already present.

The module is deployed on 4 servers, and this issue is intermittently coming on only two servers. When this error is encountered we bounce the respective server a couple of times and the issue gets sorted for some time. But  after some time this issue agains starts  coming .

Kindly advise on some solution to this issue.

The error messages seems to suggest that you're not using a standard font and you haven't added font extension to your class path.

Stick to using only "SansSerif" font in your report.
