has the font infrastructure of
has the font infrastructure of cloudflare pages build instances been documented somehow? i'm trying to process some open graph images with sharp (a node.js package) and i set
export FONTCONFIG_PATH=${PWD}/assets/fonts at my build script as per sharp instructions (i validated at that PWD is what i might expect) but it seems like it still doesn't find my custom fonts. it's possible i'm missing something obvious here14 Replies
here's what i'm doing exactly, https://github.com/ReactFinland/future-frontend-site
i guess the main question is, how to validate that fontconfig actually picked up my custom fonts
I'm not directly familiar with fontconfig honestly, but my unofficial results show it at version
2.11.94-0ubuntu1.1 within the build image:https://cfdata.lol/products/pages/
Perhaps there's different config or things for versions?ok, that's good info. i see
fontconfig is there so i imagine the problem folds to understanding how it works better
is it possible to run the build image locally somehow?It is not, unfortunately
ah, bummer
It's based on an older version of Netlify's build image (
v3.4.0), which you could source from https://github.com/netlify/build-image
But there are definitely tweaks that have been made, so I wouldn't rely on it as a 1:1 representationok, thanks a lot. i noticed setting
FC_DEBUG should give more info from fontconfig so i guess that's the next natural step
at least now i know for sure the env has fontconfigYeah 🙂 Here's the
Dockerfile for 3.4.0: https://github.com/netlify/build-image/blob/v3.4.0/Dockerfilespeaking of images, is it possible to patch them somehow? it would help if i could attach deno there. now i have to pull it for each build
unfortunately not, nope. You'll have to pull it every build
ok, is there a cache for deps at least?
i remember i saw something along that at netlify
no cache either unfortunately
ok, hopefully one day 🙂
thanks for help and have a nice year
you too!
