Jasper stops finding one font

After upgrading Jasper to the last version, it stopped finding one font: Symbol. The rest of the fonts seem to be fine. I have a bunch of ttfs in the same directory as where jasper is run, the program is just a small wrapper to generate PDFs, and it's throwing this error:

net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRFontNotFoundException: Font 'Symbol' is not available to the JVM. See the Javadoc for more details.

The directory where the program is running:

# ls *.ttf
arial.ttf  arialbd.ttf  lsans.ttf  lsansd.ttf  lsansi.ttf  symbol.ttf

All other fonts are found. Oh, in my laptop (macosx), it works fine, it only breaks on the server (Debian). I opened symbol.ttf and it opened fine on Mac OS X (just in case the file was corrupt).

Any ideas what may be going on?

Try adding the line

net.sf.jasperreports.awt.ignore.missing.font=true

to your jasperreports.properties file.
