Why does it work for other fonts but not Symbol though?

After upgrading Jasper to the last version, it stopped finding one font: Symbol. The rest of the fonts seem to be fine. I have a bunch of ttfs in the same directory as where jasper is run, the program is just a small wrapper to generate PDFs, and it's throwing this error: net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRFontNotFoundException: Font 'Symbol' is not available to the JVM. See the Javadoc for more details. at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRFontUtil.checkAwtFont(JRFontUtil.java:358) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRStyledText.getAwtAttributedString(JRStyledText.java:226) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.TextMeasurer.measure(TextMeasurer.java:362) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRFillTextElement.chopTextElement(JRFillTextElement.java:1129) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRFillStaticText.prepare(JRFillStaticText.java:183) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRFillElementContainer.prepareElements(JRFillElementContainer.java:329) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRFillBand.fill(JRFillBand.java:419) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRFillBand.fill(JRFillBand.java:378) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRVerticalFiller.fillColumnBand(JRVerticalFiller.java:2028) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRVerticalFiller.fillDetail(JRVerticalFiller.java:757) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRVerticalFiller.fillReportStart(JRVerticalFiller.java:269) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRVerticalFiller.fillReport(JRVerticalFiller.java:127) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRBaseFiller.fill(JRBaseFiller.java:942) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRBaseFiller.fill(JRBaseFiller.java:860) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRFiller.fillReport(JRFiller.java:84) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperFillManager.fillReport(JasperFillManager.java:624) at XmlJasperInterface.report(XmlJasperInterface.java:82) at XmlJasperInterface.main(XmlJasperInterface.java:60) The directory where the program is running: # ls *.ttfarial.ttf arialbd.ttf lsans.ttf lsansd.ttf lsansi.ttf symbol.ttfAll other fonts are found. Oh, in my laptop (macosx), it works fine, it only breaks on the server (Debian). I opened symbol.ttf and it opened fine on Mac OS X (just in case the file was corrupt).Any ideas what may be going on?

From the answer at Stack Overflow: You will need to set a date pattern in your datasource, like this: JRXmlDataSource datasource = new JRXmlDataSource(....); datasource.setDatePattern("MM/dd/yyyy");[/code]

Downgrading Jasper Reports to 1.1.0 made it work again, so it was most likely the upgrade that broke it.

I'm working on a system that uses Jasper reports. Recently it started throwing this error: org.apache.commons.beanutils.ConversionException: Unparseable date: "03/03/1981" at org.apache.commons.beanutils.locale.BaseLocaleConverter.convert(BaseLocaleConverter.java:241) at org.apache.commons.beanutils.locale.LocaleConvertUtilsBean.convert(LocaleConvertUtilsBean.java:285) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRAbstractTextDataSource.convertStringValue(JRAbstractTextDataSource.java:69) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRXmlDataSource.getFieldValue(JRXmlDataSource.java:313) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRFillDataset.setOldValues(JRFillDataset.java:823) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRFillDataset.next(JRFillDataset.java:787) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRBaseFiller.next(JRBaseFiller.java:1478) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRVerticalFiller.fillReport(JRVerticalFiller.java:125) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRBaseFiller.fill(JRBaseFiller.java:942) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRBaseFiller.fill(JRBaseFiller.java:860) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRFiller.fillReport(JRFiller.java:84) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperFillManager.fillReport(JasperFillManager.java:624) at XmlJasperInterface.report(XmlJasperInterface.java:89) at XmlJasperInterface.main(XmlJasperInterface.java:63) Caused by: java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "03/03/1981" at java.text.DateFormat.parse(DateFormat.java:337) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRDateLocaleConverter.parse(JRDateLocaleConverter.java:84) at org.apache.commons.beanutils.locale.BaseLocaleConverter.convert(BaseLocaleConverter.java:232) ... 13 more I'm not sure what caused it. We've also recently upgraded Jasper reports but I remember it was working after the upgrade. I've found a blog post titled BeanUtils, Digester, and Type Conversion which points to add these lines: String pattern = "MM/dd/yyyy"; Locale locale = Locale.getDefault(); DateLocaleConverter converter = new DateLocaleConverter(locale, pattern); converter.setLenient(true); ConvertUtils.register(converter, java.util.Date.class); but they've changed nothing. I still get the same error. The line that triggers the error is this one: jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, null, new JRXmlDataSource(System.in, selectCriteria)); Thanks.
