we are trying to switch from using jib for creating the docker images to using Spring Boot built in buildpacks with bootBuildImage but are having problems in the resulting image when using JasperRerports:
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Problem reading font data.
at java.desktop/java.awt.Font.createFont0(Unknown Source) ~[na:na]
at java.desktop/java.awt.Font.createFont(Unknown Source) ~[na:na]
at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fonts.SimpleFontFace.<init>(SimpleFontFace.java:100)
it seems like there are not fonts configured in the resulting docker image - is there a way to add those?

The set of packages available in the generated image is determined by the run image in the builder stack. By default, Spring Boot uses the Paketo paketobuildpacks/builder:base builder image, which includes the base run image. The first thing to try is to configure bootBuildImage to use the paketobuildpacks/builder:full builder as shown in the documentation. If the full run image still doesn't have everything you need, then you might need to create a custom run image that contains additional packages.

sorry, was not aware that there is already an option for configuring the buildpack, you can delete this issue, I postet the question to stackoverflow since I am still having troubles configuring the full buildpack: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71239373/java-io-ioexception-problem-reading-font-data-when-using-bootbuildimage
