Headless Linux Install: X11FontManager NPE

[baaldemon]

So I ended up upgrading to openSuse13.1 and im running a minimal headless install. In doing so I now see a bunch of NPE errors in my logs. Tracing it down it appears to be coming from the CoverArtController class. Was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue and what you were able to do to get rid of it. I've seen some other systems like Jenkins or various Atlassin products running on headless RedHat servers. All those point to install some fonts on the system and the issue becoming resolved, so I tried installing the x11fonts and various other font packages without resolve on my setup, havent spent too much time trying to fix it yet but Im hoping someone else has already run into this and has a fix.

My setup: x86_64
Tomcat 7.0.42
OpenJDK 1.7.0.51 (though this will be updated shortly once the latest update hits the repos)
openSuse 13.1 (minimal install)
