JasperReports Server 7.8.x error: Class net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JdkGlyphFixTextMeasurerFactory not found

Problem:
After migrating from JasperReports Server 7.5.x to 7.8.x, report rendering results in below error. How can we resolve this error?

The report was not completed. An error occurred while executing it.
net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRRuntimeException: net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Class net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JdkGlyphFixTextMeasurerFactory not found.
at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRTextMeasurerUtil.getFactory(JRTextMeasurerUtil.java:157)
...

Cause:
The 'JdkGlyphFixTextMeasurerFactory' class has been removed in the newer versions of JasperReports Server, and it should not be used anymore. Instead, we now have the newer 'net.sf.jasperreports.text.measurer.factory.single.line' class as a replacement.

Solution:
Please review your JRXML report and see if you have reference to the 'JdkGlyphFixTextMeasurerFactory' class. If yes, try removing it from the report for its test run.

Also, please check if you have below property present in the jasperreports.properties file (<jasperserver-pro>/WEB-INF/classses/). If yes, kindly remove it from the file, save the file, and restart the application server for the changes to reflect.

net.sf.jasperreports.text.measurer.factory=net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JdkGlyphFixTextMeasurerFactory

A sample jasperreports.properties file is attached for reference which shows the presence of the newer 'net.sf.jasperreports.text.measurer.factory.single.line' class. Kindly take a look.
