PDF Export Font Upload Error

[Engin Sülün]

When I want to upload a ".ttf" file under "PDF Export Language Support" menu, it returns the following error message with no success.

The following error(s) occurred:

• Failed to create the font directory /fonts

Confluence Version 6.12.2 running on Docker container.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi @Engin Sülün 

Are we sure about the character encoding being used here

https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/create-a-pdf-in-another-language-175473.html

It looks like when you are importing, it's trying to create a folder in root, can you try giving the permission to the root folder and then try importing.

Let me know if it's correct

Thanks,
Pramodh

Hello @Pramodh M

Thanks for your response.

I try to apply the steps in the article.

I gave permissions to the root folder, but didn't help.

It throws the following log records:
