Cause

This is caused because of missing fonts, due to which the application cannot perform graphics rendering.

Resolution

  1. Install the JDK Fonts package on top of the Oracle JDK by running the below command for Ubuntu:

    sudo apt-get install fonts-dejavu-core

  2. For CentOS run the below command

    CentOS 
    yum install fontconfig

    Once installed, you should see the below packages installed

    Check for dejavu fonts 
    $ rpm -qa | grep dejavu

dejavu-sans-fonts-2.33-6.el7.noarch
dejavu-fonts-common-2.33-6.el7.noarch
  3. Restart Fisheye/Crucible.

Check the Supported Platforms page to ensure a compatible environment.
