Summary        : Library for Font Configuration
Description    :                               
    Fontconfig is a library for configuring and customizing font access. It
    contains two essential modules: the configuration module, which builds
    an internal configuration from XML files, and the matching module,
    which accepts font patterns and returns the nearest matching font.

Install attempt:

./atlassian-confluence-6.14.1-x64.bin

Having similar issue on Redhat when upgrading confluence to v6.13.4. Not sure cause yet...

Found a way to fix the issue - download atlassian-jira-core-8.2.0.tar.gz to confluence server, unzip it and run atlassian-jira-core-8.2.0-standalone/bin/install_fontconfig.sh
