java.desktop/sun.awt.FontConfiguration.getVersion with NullPointerException

 Ref: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65509533/npe-from-sun-awt-fontconfiguration-getversion-using-apache-fop-jdk-11-on-linux-s

Error:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
        at java.desktop/sun.awt.FontConfiguration.getVersion(FontConfiguration.java:1262)
        at java.desktop/sun.awt.FontConfiguration.readFontConfigFile(FontConfiguration.java:225)

        at java.desktop/sun.awt.X11FontManager.createFontConfiguration(X11FontManager.java:719)

Solution:

Turns out the issue was not that I didn't have access to the fonts, the Linux OS required me to install fontconfig via yum.
yum install fontconfig
I am not sure why Oracle JDK 11 plus the missing Linux utility was the issue since this works now in my production environment with Oracle JDK 1.8 and without fontconfig being installed.
