Problem
Rendering of fonts for SVG and PNG is not working when we switched to an alpine base image.
Solution
The alpine documentation on fonts gives a good list of fonts that we can install to achieve what we need, I'm using GNU FreeFont, with the main reason being that it was what worked with formsg so we've at least tested that it solves font-rendering problems there.
