java crashes when accessing font functions

[tsmets]

I would try to use a switch like 
Code:
--------------------
    headless
--------------------
. 

the problem you mention is not uncommon when java needs to delegate
some transformation to native code and try to access dll's or shared
object... 



Try adding 


Code:
--------------------
    -Djava.awt.headless=true
--------------------


to the application start up script... It is what we have to do when
starting catalina on a server where X-window is not install and the
web-app tries to generate PBG's / Gif's ...



Hope it helps,



\T,
