-------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, I got the correct error message from Jenkins, which indicates that there are no TTF fonts installed on the system to use as a fallback. I've therefore added a "last resort" built-in TTF fallback font, [Nimbus Sans L|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimbus_Sans#Nimbus_Sans_L], which is a clone of Adobe's Helvetica.

Nimbus Sans L is under the LPPL license which appears to be compatible with Apache requirements, see below:

Fonts are under LPPL as of 2009: http://www.tug.org/fonts/lppl-urw.txt
Fonts mentioned in above link: http://svn.ghostscript.com/ghostscript/trunk/urw-fonts/
Text of the LPPL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX_Project_Public_License

Added in [r1606972|http://svn.apache.org/r1606972].
