E.g. Helvetica Neue is not rendered on Heroku. Url: https://url-to-pdf-api.herokuapp.com/api/render?url=https://github.com/kimmobrunfeldt/url-to-pdf-api/issues/5

There will be always some difference between "your" pc and the rendering machine, depends on what you use Windows, Linux, OSX etc. The system font base will be always different, you can include some fonts with some custom font buildbacks, but be aware that the Heroku slug size is limited to ~300MB.

Some random example https://github.com/debitoor/heroku-buildpack-converter-fonts.

@riston Yeah definitely. Thanks for linking the buildpack.

I added the buildpack, but paragraphs in github at least are bolded: heroku-fonts.pdf. I'm not sure if I'll keep the font pack there.

How do you add a buildpack if the app was deployed to the dyno using Heroku Button?
