Font "Arial" not available for JVM

I am working on a Java project that uses Jasperreports. I worked several times in other projects using the same technology, and I had the same problem when trying to print a report in Unix environments.

My project uses:

  • JBoss 4.2.3.GA
  • Java 1.6
  • Jasperreports 4.7.0

The exception is:

net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRFontNotFoundException: Font 'Arial' is not available to the JVM. See the Javadoc for more details.

I found a general solution to solve this problem and really works:

sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts

However, I want to understand how Jasper works with fonts and how it searches for these fonts installed on Unix environments. Perhaps the best question is: how does the JVM handle native fonts? Can someone give me a detailed explanation on this? How are system fonts available to the JVM at runtime?
