Make it easier to run apps that require fonts

[dmikusa]

Some Java apps, even server side apps, might require fonts. For example, to generate PDFs.

This is difficult for a buildpack generated image as the tiny and base stack do not provide fonts.

Describe the Enhancement

Minimally, document how to bring your own fonts. See https://cloud-native.slack.com/archives/C033DV8D9FB/p1667045006503959

Ideally make this easier perhaps by setting JVM flags or by adding required libraries. Especially for tiny stack.

Possible Solution

See above.

Motivation

Fonts are required for some server apps, we should make that easier.

could you share the possible solution here?

Thank you.

See if this works, I apologize for the formatting. It's hard to get a thread out of Slack and have it look reasonable.
