NullPointerException when running Crystal reports with SP24 for Eclipse

We are trying to upgrade to SP24 of Crystal Report for Eclipse but have found that several of our reports are failing with a NullPointerException when generating the report. I've included the stack trace below - does anyone have any idea what may be wrong or have any workarounds, please?

I have got the same issue, copying the jre/lib/fonts folder from Java8 to Java 11 -jdk/lib/fonts solved the issue.

Just in case someone else is running into the same problem here.

Problem is: Newer JDK versions are not shipped with a lib/fonts folder which the Crystal Report engine expects.

A somewhat unsatisfying, but working solution is:

  1. Create a fonts folder -> %JAVA_HOME%/lib/fonts
  2. Copy fonts from 'Windows\Fonts' into %JAVA_HOME%/lib/fonts.

Problem should be solved then.
