It's only failing sometimes? This is all you see in the logs? Is there any difference in the fonts when it fails, like internationalization or something?

Sure. The custom fonts work locally, but not when deployed? Where are you putting the code for the fonts when you deploy the report?

Customs fonts works localy and also works in when we deply in Unix box.Only sometimes it falis , we are not able to reproduce the bug in local (windows)only in deployment envrionment(Unix) it fails randomly and when we restart the server it works again. we have created our own custom fontConfig.xml and passed the custom fons path on the same.and at run time in engine config we are setting passing our font config like below code. engineConfig.setFontConfig(createUrlFor(fontConfigFile)); we have written a logic so that it first create custom fontConfig.xml in temp folder of OS and loads all the fonts that is also in temp folder.And when we close the pdf, it deletes fonts and custom fontConfig.xml from temp folder from OS.
