This looks like some fonts are missing, or maybe none is installed. Compare the output of fc-command between your dev environment and your prod. This command might not be here by default and you need to install it too.
This post might help, as we don't know which distro you are running.

Annotation based configuration alternative for tag result-type of struts.xml

I'm trying to create new Struts 2 application (annotation based configuration) with common header, footer and body where body change on menu click.
So I referred to this link which says If you are using annotations alone and no struts.xml, then you have to create a minimal one for this because there's no annotation available to define a custom result type.
Do i still have to create struts.xml for result-type tag?
I am trying to use Tiles 3 and getting this error:

The default parent package should be not convention-default but tiles-default. You can distinguish this if you add a tiles plugin to the classpath and set the #ParentPackage("tiles-default") annotation to the action class. You can put this annotation on the class or package where it's applied by the retention policy.
Also note, that you can define the parent package globally, not only the custom action class from the previous example. I.e., if you have a package default in your configuration that extends tiles-default and you want to configure it globally use
<constant name="struts.convention.default.parent.package" value="default"/>

Can't deploy YouTrack on Tomcat 7 (org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException)

I'm trying to install YouTrack. I installed Tomcat 7 and that works fine (I'm able to load localhost:8080). Now I'm trying to deploy YouTrack. I followed the instructions on their website:
Deploy youtrack-xx.war in Tomcat servlet container:
If you run Tomcat (e.g. as a Windows service), stop Tomcat instance before deploying YouTrack.
Save youtrack-xx.war in the $TOMCAT_HOME$/webapps directory. Rename youtrack-xx.war file as required before deploying. In the
further examples we assume that the YouTrack servlet name is set to
youtrack.war.
Start Apache Tomcat and check whether YouTrack is set up correctly and is available (in a web browser navigate to
http://yourserver:<Tomcat port>/youtrack).
At step 3. I can't access YouTrack. I get a 404. If I go to the management site of Tomcat, it says that the Running state of YouTrack is false. If I click Start, it will display this error message:
FAIL - Application at context path /youtrack could not be started
FAIL - Encountered exception org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException:
Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/youtrack]]
I looked at logs/catalina.out and this is the full error:

It looks like some classes are missing, but the one that is referenced in the error does actually exist:
$TOMCAT$/webapps/youtrack/org/apache/log4j/xml:

Do you have a brand new Tomcat installation, or are there some modifications made in terms of %TOMCAT%\lib folder content? Could this be the case that you have the issue described under Update in this comment: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8832023/469159?

How to resolve this.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
Error is Thrown if an application tries to call a specified method of a class (either static or instance), and that class no longer has a definition of that method.
Normally, this error is caught by the compiler; this error can only occur at run time if the definition of a class has incompatibly changed.
Try to download latest version of jar file

NoSuchMethodError: is generally thrown when there is conflict for the methods in included jars or may be due to different version of included dependent jars. Try removing unnecessary jars and if still issue is not resolved check the version of included jars
