VisualizaçõesUtilizing custom font in AWS Lambda and Node.js 12.x
I'm trying to create an AWS Lambda function to apply a watermarking effect on images. The original image will be pulled from S3, the watermarks applied and the results uploaded back to S3.
I'm using sharp to create these compositions with this code:
await sharp(inputImage)
.rotate()
.composite([{ input: new Buffer.from(watermark), tile: true, gravity: 'northwest' }])
With a custom watermark SVG
watermark = `<svg ... <text x="50%" y="100%" style="font-family:'Open Sans';font-weight:400;font-size:75px;font-style:normal;fill:rgba(128,128,128,1);stroke:none;" text-anchor="middle">${event.watermarkName}</text></g></svg>`;
Inside the SVG there is a text element that I dynamically change to contain a specified string. For example, I can put (c) Company Name on one image and (c) John Doe on another.
The code works when is running on my machine, but once inside a Lambda function with Node.js 12.x runtime this is the result
As you can see I specified Open Sans as the font to be used. I, in fact, put the OpenSans-Regular.ttf file in /fonts/, created a fonts.conf file and set a FONTCONFIG_PATH='/var/task/fonts' as described in this question.
Nonetheless, fonts are still not working. Does anyone have suggestions about how I can fix this?

Well asking Stackoverflow helped me finding the answer on my own, so I'm sharing in case anyone stumbles across this problem in the future.
AWS Lambda does not appear to support even basic fonts on it's own. For this reason, you will need to include you onw fonts as files inside the deployment zip file.
In my case this worked:
Creat a
/fontsfolder and inside placed all the files needed (in my caseOpenSans-Regular.ttf).Put a file named
fonts.confinside this folder<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <dir>/var/task/fonts/</dir> <cachedir>/tmp/fonts-cache/</cachedir> <config></config> </fontconfig>Tell Lambda where the config file is by creating an environment variable
FONTCONFIG_PATH='./fonts'
And voilà!

Worked for me also with the
FONTCONFIG_FILE="/var/task/fonts.conf"
