Matching System Font with your local environment and Amazon Linux

gistfile1.txt

Step 1: Back up your EC2 System fonts.
  cp -r /etc/fonts /etc/fonts.old
  
Step 2: Migrate your local font via SCP.
  scp -r -i file.pem /etc/fonts  [email protected]:/etc/fonts

Step 3: Reset Font Cache
  fc-cache
  fc-cache -v | grep err (to check errors)
  
  
  *Note: If you encounter error with bitmap-fonts...
  *The default config restricts the use of bitmap fonts, do the following.
      sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf
      sudo ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-yes-bitmaps.conf

    Do the reseting of cache, you shouldn't get any error after.
    
Step 4: Create a fonts/ folder in your application and fill it with the font(s) you want.
  cd my_app_dir
  mkdir fonts
  
Step 5: Create a .ebextensions directory and copy_fonts.config file:
  mkdir .ebextensions
  cd .ebextensions
  vi copy_fonts.config
    (paste the code below:)
      container_commands:
          copy_fonts:
              command: "cp fonts/*.ttf /usr/share/fonts/"
