Font is not available to the JVM with Jasper Reports in Docker Container

I'm trying to generate a report with DynamicJasper in Docker container?
If I get the followfing error:

net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRFontNotFoundException:  
                                 Font 'Arial' is not available to the JVM.   

How can I fix this?

I used a Dockerfile like the one below and the problem was solved.
I tried searching for the font in the filesystem in container, with:

ls /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/

I can see the fonts loaded the folder.

FROM openjdk:8u141-jre
COPY /build/libs/my-app*.jar /my-app.jar
EXPOSE 9500

Essentially, the JVM itself does not hold any font. That's why you have to install them by yourself. Your solution seems already good. For Debian-based Docker images I do the following:

#Add non-free repositories to get MS fonts

RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends software-properties-common
RUN apt-add-repository contrib
RUN apt-get update

# If you want to use Microsoft fonts in reports, you must install the fonts
# Andale Mono, Arial Black, Arial, Comic Sans MS, Courier New, Georgia, Impact,
# Times New Roman, Trebuchet, Verdana,Webdings)
RUN echo "ttf-mscorefonts-installer msttcorefonts/accepted-mscorefonts-eula select true" | debconf-set-selections
RUN apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends fontconfig ttf-mscorefonts-installer
ADD localfonts.conf /etc/fonts/local.conf
RUN fc-cache -f -v


# If you want to use special characters, such as chinese ideograms, you must install a 
font that support them
# For example:
RUN apt install -y fonts-wqy-zenhei

The localfonts.conf file is an optimized for tweaking some anti-aliasing rules for the 'msttcorefonts' collection. Yo can find it here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts#Manual_Font_Smoothing
Unfortunatly the file length is too file to share it on SO, but it's resonable to suppose that the link I posted will be kept on Ubuntu wiki.

This helped me with my Debian-based Docker image

RUN apt-get -q update \
    && apt-get -q install -y cabextract libmspack0 \
    && wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/m/msttcorefonts/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.6_all.deb \
    && dpkg -i ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.6_all.deb
