I want to load a font for some image manipulation that im doing with jimp. But its not able to load the font file at all. Where can I find documentation/example for this?

Route handler is run in a different place from static assets on Vercel, so fs doesn’t work. I would just fetch() the font file and use the returned buffer to supply to jimp

This is what im doing right now
const filePath = path.join(process.cwd(), 'public', 'open-sans-64-white.fnt')
const font = await jimp.loadFont(filePath)which results in
no such file or directoryyou can just import the font from
next/font import { Open_Sans } from "next/font/google"@Shaurya you can just import the font from `next/font` tsx
import { Open_Sans } from "next/font/google"
