startInstGui fail with error Fatal error: No usable fonts found

[Former Member]

Hi gurus, I am trying to install an application server on a Linux platform, running the startinstgui ends with the following error:

Java Runtime found in JAVAHOME environment variable_

Path: /opt/IBMJava2-amd64-142/jre/bin/java

Start mode: gui (GUI only)

Connection parameters:

GUIServer host: localhost

GUIServer port: 21212

Starting...

Fatal error: No usable fonts found.

I have already installed the JDK package 142 SR13 but I had no improvement.

Have you any idea?

Thank you very much

I have already installed the JDK package 142 SR13 but I had no improvement.

Have you set correctly JAVA_HOME when you installed SR13?

Set it correctly, check with command "java -version" that you are using IBM JDK 1.4.2 SR13 and then retry.

Hi Peter, the environment variable is set:

JAVA_HOME=/opt/IBMJava2-amd64-142

was previously JAVA_HOME=/opt/IBMJava2-amd64-142/jre

The result of "java -version" is

"version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)"

The new message is

./startInstGui.sh

Java Runtime found in PATH environment variable

Path: java

Start mode: gui (GUI only)

Connection parameters:

GUIServer host: localhost

GUIServer port: 21212

Starting...

As you can see you are not using correct JRE, execute following command in addition:

 setenv PATH /opt/IBMJava2-amd64-142/bin:$PATH

then execute again java -version

- you have to get something like this:

java version "1.4.2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 2.2)
IBM J9SE VM (build 2.2, J2RE 1.4.2 IBM J9 2.2 Linux amd64-64 j9xa64142-20061124 (JIT enabled)
J9VM - 20061121_1035_LHdSMr
JIT  - r7_level20061020_1803)

and start again gui
