Method 1
It seems more related to fonts, You may try:
- Embedding the fonts in your application and on startup copy the fonts into the $HOME/.fonts directory (which for a running application is /home/vcap/app/.fonts). You can use .profile file to copy the file form your artefact to this location.
-
Use the font specifically in the code eg. from assets in java..something like
GraphicsEnvironment graphenv = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
graphenv.registerFont(Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, new File(“japanese.ttf”)));
