Arial font size changes randomly in BIRT report [message #647008]

We use BIRT to generate correspondence notices to our clients. We run these during a batch run with over 100k generated using 4 JBoss servers each running a BIRT servlet implementation.

For most of the correspondence reports the PDF's generated are correct but there are a handful that fail randomly (e.g. 32 out of 100k have the font error). If we re-run these same correspondence they will not have the same error which makes it difficult for us to debug.

The BIRT template sets the font in a table to be Arial size 8 but for the ones that fail the font changes to a larger font (looks like Arial size 12).

The creates problems for our printing that is expecting a specific number of pages in the correspondence. The larger fonts create an extra page and the correspondence job fails at that point.

We are wondering if the problem is a concurrency issue with the fonts as we are running several report requests simultaneously.

Has anyone else experienced a problem with font sizes changing at run time? We are trying to find a good work around for this problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Brett

I should add that the JBoss server is running on an enterprise SUSE linux installation. The fonts were added to the OS and display correctly most of the time.

Brett,

Can you open a bugzilla entry for this?
