Install custom fonts on Deadline Cloud Linux workers - Deadline Cloud

Install custom fonts on Deadline Cloud Linux workers

The linux_font_installation host configuration script installs fonts from an Amazon S3 bucket on Deadline Cloud Linux service-managed fleet workers, which makes the fonts available to applications such as Nuke.

Note

Fonts may render differently across operating systems.

To use this script:

  1. Upload your font files to an Amazon S3 bucket. To save time at instance startup, store fonts in a dedicated folder so the script copies only font files.

    aws s3 cp /path/to/your/fonts/ s3://your-bucket-name/Fonts/ --recursive

  2. Edit font_install_host_config.sh to set S3_FONTS_URI and JOB_USER.

  3. Add an IAM policy to your fleet IAM role that grants s3:GetObject and s3:ListBucket permissions for the bucket and prefix.
