-------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, I got the correct error message from Jenkins, which indicates that there
are no TTF fonts installed on the system to use as a fallback. I've therefore
added a "last resort" built-in TTF fallback font, [Nimbus Sans
L|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimbus_Sans#Nimbus_Sans_L], which is a clone of
Adobe's Helvetica.
Nimbus Sans L is under the LPPL license which appears to be compatible with
Apache requirements, see below:
Fonts are under LPPL as of 2009: http://www.tug.org/fonts/lppl-urw.txt
Fonts mentioned in above link:
http://svn.ghostscript.com/ghostscript/trunk/urw-fonts/
Text of the LPPL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX_Project_Public_License
Added in [r1606972|http://svn.apache.org/r1606972].
