tbh i've no idea but you can create a Dockerfile and add any font you want

Isn't it because railway run runs locally on your machine. So when you do that, fc-list returns what you have on your computer, but that's not what is hosted on railway (https://docs.railway.app/guides/cli#local-development)

Oh what? I've been using railway run rails c to access the data on production.

This is news to me. Hmmm.

railway run also copies your environment variables so you might be connecting to your production database in your machine

Any hints on how to create a dockerfile with the fonts for railway? I'm so noob with how to do that or is there like a nixPkg that can help install some defaults?

there's probably a ubuntu package that includes those fonts, so there's no need for a Dockerfile, i'll cc @Brody here because he knows how to use nixpacks config files to install custom ubuntu packages

but you can always read the documentation
https://nixpacks.com/docs/configuration/file

Thanks @ThallesComH @jeremy for the help this morning!

And calling on @Brody , I think he is tired of helping me these days hahaha.

If I was tired of helping I wouldn't have taken a job at Railway

do you think you could provide a minimal reproducible example?

Not really, any font is OK at this point, I just don't know how to check what fonts are installed with the defaults on railway.

[phases.setup]
  nixpkgsArchive = 'a459b363de387c078080b719b30c54d8a79b4a3e'
  nixPkgs = ['...', 'ffmpeg', 'noto-fonts']

I have this in my nixpacks.toml, but it seems like the fonts are not installed? Or i'm not sure where to find them or whether i'm refering the right name because I can't do a ls on railway since I can't ssh and see what's on there (or at least I don't know how).

wouldnt it be possible for you to simply include the font file in your repo? and have your code load the font from that set location?

Hm. Good idea. Like what you did here: https://github.com/railwayapp/docs/tree/main/public/fonts

I'm guessing?

yeah or here -

you might need fontconfig as an apt package

That fixed it, thanks for the 💡 idea @Brody !

awsome!
