I am having a Java based web application running in Amazon EC2 Ubuntu server. I use Jasper reports to generate some reports in PDF format. I built these reports using 'Jaspersoft Studio'
Now, when I try to generate reports, I get this error
net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.jrfontnotfoundexception font 'Times New Roman' is not available to the jvm
So, I decided to install the Microsoft fonts. I typed,
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
It didn't work at all. Instead, it gave me the below notice
$ sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package ttf-mscorefonts-installer is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'ttf-mscorefonts-installer' has no installation candidate
How can I solve this issue?
Update
My source.list
contains below. am I safe to edit?
