Comment 1 Chris Bowditch 2012-09-21 10:35:15 UTC 
Thanks for the bug report. I confirm that this issue exists in FOP v1.1rc when running on a Windows machine which clearly has a Graphics environment available.
Comment 2 Mehdi Houshmand 2012-09-24 09:19:56 UTC 
This also happens in trunk in a linux environment (Ubuntu 12.04 3.2.0-30-generic). I'll take a look
Comment 3 Mehdi Houshmand 2012-09-24 10:04:06 UTC 
Ok, I took a quick look at this, and it seems to be caused by bug#50062.

Glenn, would you be alright with me reverting this change? Users can add the "-Djava.awt.headless=true" as Chris suggested, but this shouldn't be the default as it blocks invocation of the AWT renderer.
Comment 4 Mehdi Houshmand 2012-09-26 08:51:32 UTC 
This has been fixed in r1390331. Please could you make sure that it works on your machine and set the status to fixed if you're happy.

Thanks.
Comment 5 Ralph Hummeling 2012-09-27 20:45:14 UTC 
Confirmed AWT command line option repaired.
