Hello Team, I was trying to use railpack build at my dev env and it is really great, but some build might not installed the font properly (never meet this issue with previous build type). basically i just need to change build with nixpack to make it work, but i want to use Railpack in my Prod Env since it give us faster build.
i am using a bash command to install the font and run it with the build command. it is like the font installed asynchronously, which is fine. but the fontconfig is not there.npm run build:prod && chmod +x ./src/install-fonts.sh && ./src/install-fonts.sh
do i miss a config when using Railpack that make the fontconfig not found at random build?

Why are you putting the fonts in the system font dir? just keep them in your project directory and use them from there

Hey, can you try specifying fontconfig with RAILPACK_BUILD_APT_PACKAGES (and RAILPACK_DEPLOY_APT_PACKAGES) as per the Railpack additional apt packages docs? I have seen a similar issue on GitHub that was caused by missing the fontconfig package.

Thank you, because of your comment, today I learn that we can make the fontconfig recognize the fonts via env vars.

i am trying
- RAILPACK_DEPLOY_APT_PACKAGES = fontconfig
- FONTCONFIG_PATH = app/src/...
lets see, do i still get failed font installation or not from random deployment.
