How to add fonts to this image?

[atrudeau-vitall]

I saw this comment about adding new fonts to the base docker image, and I was wondering how I'd go about that? The font I need doesn't seem to be on https://pkgs.org/.

For reference, I'd like to add this font. Any help is appreciated!

Hi, do you know the full implementation process on how to build image and push image to the ECR?

Hey,
I found a solution. Put your ttf files into a fonts/ directory in your repository and use the following Dockerfile:

Dockerfile

FROM public.ecr.aws/shelf/lambda-libreoffice-base:7.4-node16-x86_64
COPY ./ ${LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT}/
COPY ./fonts ${HOME}/.fonts
# dependency not supplied by lambda-libreoffice-base image
# https://github.com/shelfio/aws-lambda-libreoffice/issues/211
RUN fc-cache && yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel -y
RUN npm install
CMD [ "app.handler" ]

What it does is it puts the fonts into the $HOME folder and installs them using fc-cache.

package.json

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@shelf/aws-lambda-libreoffice": "^5.0.0"
  }
}

serverless.yml

service: pdfgen-lambda
frameworkVersion: '3'
provider:
  name: aws
  ecr:    
    images:
      appimage:
        path: ./
functions:
  libreoffice:
    url: true
    image:
      name: appimage

And then

sls deploy
sls invoke --function libreoffice

Thanks for the help !

In the end it does not work with otf fonts. Would someone have a solution for it?

Ok, the same approach worked but targeting another directory !

FROM --platform=linux/amd64 public.ecr.aws/shelf/lambda-libreoffice-base:7.4-node16-x86_64

COPY ./ ${LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT}/

RUN mkdir -p /usr/share/fonts/opentype

COPY ./fonts/marinanne  /usr/share/fonts/opentype

# dependency not supplied by lambda-libreoffice-base image
RUN fc-cache -f -v
RUN yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel -y
RUN npm install --only=production

CMD [ "handler.handler" ]
