Description

I have deployed a chart generation service in Heroku. But the chart cannot show the correct text because Heroku is missing specific typeface file. And I cannot copy the required typeface file to "/usr/share/fonts/". How to make the plotly to use my custom typeface file to generate charts? Thank you very much.

Research direction

The issue names Heroku deployment, Plotly chart generation, and a custom typeface file but no repository files or tests. Start by reproducing the missing-font behavior in Heroku and locating the font-related chart configuration entry point. Done means charts render the intended typeface from a user-supplied file without requiring access to /usr/share/fonts/.
