Hi Sankar,

We did not install anything for 10.4 and 10.5 versions. Can you please help the requirement here to install below for 10.6 on Linux machines ?

yum install fontconfig

And then install DevTest

Hi Raji,
    In Devtest 10.6, we moved from Java Jdk to OpenJDK which requires fontconfig on linux server. In general, Linux has bundled with fontconfig model. But in some linux OS, we noticed that this was not bundled. So, please install fintconfig module using yum command and then install Devtest.

Thanks,
Srikanth

Raji,  You can refer below article for more information:

Thanks Srikanth and Sankar,

I checked OS of my server and it is Oracle Linux. Let me check internally to add this fontconfig as only Linux admins have access.

Thanks Raji.
 As explained in article, please share below commands with your admin team to install font modules on Linux.

yum install fontconfig
yum install dejavu-sans-font

Thanks,
Srikanth
