Description

Trying to figure out an issue with fontnik where it can't find `ld-linux-x86-64.so.2` when trying to run on alpine. I have the library installed and still the issue persists. Could it be that there is no matching binding/binary for Alpine?

`Error: Error loading shared library ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: No such file or directory (needed by /usr/local/src/*****/node_modules/fontnik/lib/binding/fontnik.node)`

Research direction

Start by inspecting the native binding at node_modules/fontnik/lib/binding/fontnik.node and the project's Node.js build or packaging configuration. Reproduce the loader error on Alpine with Node 10, then verify whether a compatible binding can be built or distributed without the missing ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 dependency.
