Hi @zhaohongqiangsoliva , I have never encountered this specific error but it sounds like your operating system might be missing some font packages. You might want to look up how to install missing fonts for your system.

For reference, the included Singularity container file shows a known-working system configuration for Ubuntu 16.04; https://github.com/stevekm/IGV-snapshot-automator/blob/d32f17893c261f2eb2b671291bec168dcb5a62be/Singularity

edit: I saw you mentioned using Anaconda to install xvfb in that other Issue thread, if you still have this issue it might possibly be related to Anaconda potentially not installing the required fonts. In general, this issue is related to getting Xvfb running on your system.
