hello
You can try to install the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package and clear your font cache:
sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
sudo fc-cache -f -v for more detail :  https://github.com/odoo/odoo/issues/27487#issuecomment-431847389 [1]

Hi,
If we try to print the general ledger on one month no problem, it print ~500pages
But if we try to print the whole year, we have the following error : "The command 'wkhtmltopdf' failed with error code = -9. Message: No diagnosis message was provided".
Thanks
