When i try to add a new Line to a textparagraph to a pdf page in Aspose.PDF for java 21.9 i get an java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError caused by java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException.
The exception only occurs on our IBM z/OS server, at local machine everything works fine for me.
Is this a known or new issue or do we just forgot some configuration settings?

You are facing this issue due to missing of fonts on the machine where you are using Aspose.PDF for Java. Please install the fonts used in your input PDF on your machine to avoid the shared issue.
Sorry for the late response. I have checked your hint but i dont think that the issue is caused by a missing font. In this specific code i want to create a new pdf and add a new paragraph to the first page. For this i set the font to ‘Arial’ which is definetly on our machine. (We also use this font via Aspose.Words). When a font is missing Aspose throws a com.aspose.pdf.exceptions.FontNotFoundException: Font xyz was not found.
It seems that there is a generally problem for Aspose.PDF when searching for the specified font on our machine.
@JUSITDat
The stack trace shows that the FontRepository.findFont cause the exception. Please make sure sure that the fonts used in your PDF are installed on your machine.
If you still face problem, please create a sample application (source code without compilation errors) that helps us to reproduce your problem on our end and attach it here for testing. Please also share your input PDF file. We will investigate the issue and provide you more information on it.

The stack trace also shows that the method FontRepository.findFont calls the method FontRepository.getLocalFontPaths. When i try to simply call this method as you can see in the following line of code, i get the same Exception on our IBM z/OS.
List paths = FontRepository.getLocalFontPaths();
So it seems that the issue already occurs when Aspose.PDF tries to get the local font paths for IBM z/OS systems.
