Heroku / Rails and the PDFKit backend aren't picking up the fonts that the system would like. This means that the more beautiful Helvetica Neue and the equivalent free fonts (Pragmatica Extra Light for thin, Free Sans for otherwise) don't show up on the server generated pdfs.
Attempts to solve this include:
- Using web fonts with an absolute path
- Using a .fonts directory in the app top level
Things that haven't been attempted:
- base64 encoding the fonts inline in the scss
- external assets
- font buildpacks
