Summary
Customers have observed various problems if Confluence is installed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 due to a system font problem on the operating system level (see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1484079). Please view the linked bugs/KBs below to workaround this issue in Confluence.
This also affects RHEL 7.3, per the comments in the above RHEL bug and this duplicate: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1479563
- Fail to install via binary installer: CONFSERVER-54068
- Fail to insert macros using shortcut keys - CONFSERVER-55320
- Fail to add or view attachments - CONFSERVER-55321
- Fail to render file previews (view-file macro) - CONFSERVER-55322
- Fail to render some JIRA gadgets (in JIRA, but also in Confluence if brought over as an external gadget) -
JRASERVER-67092
Recommendation
- Short term - create health check warning in logs and possibly Support Tools to warn administrators whose installations are hosted on RHEL 7.4
- Longer term - We should explore moving away from system fonts as a dependency

[CONFSERVER-54785] Various functions fail when Confluence is installed on RHEL 7.4 due to OS-level font bug
It's great that you have this issue for various issues. But... I was having issues with the fonts and the Macros not loading and spent a week trying to figure out what was happening after our upgrade to the latest version of confluence. Google searches on Confluence will not allow Macros to update when editing, gave me zero results and the work arounds that were given, were not effective. It would be really nice if you guys could put something together on the web that would lead to the correct solution.
I had to open an issue with Atlassian and wait another week before getting the local.conf resolution.
