How to load fonts and images with Dompdf (laravel-dompdf)? - laravel-8

Question

I have Laravel 8 and laravel-dompdf installed.
In the config/domppdf.php file i have some settings
"font_dir" => storage_path('pdf-assets-cache/'),
"font_cache" => storage_path('pdf-assets-cache/'),
"temp_dir" => storage_path('pdf-assets-cache/'),
"chroot" => realpath(base_path()),
"pdf_backend" => "PDFLib",
"enable_remote" => true,
"enable_html5_parser" => true,
The view:
#font-face {
font-family: 'TTNorms-Reg';
src: url('/pdf-fonts/TTNorms-Reg.eot') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('/pdf-fonts/TTNorms-Reg.woff2'),
url('/pdf-fonts/TTNorms-Reg.woff') format("woff"),
url('/pdf-fonts/TTNorms-Reg.ttf');
format("truetype");
}
body {
color: black !important;
background: white;
font-size: 13px;
line-height: 20px;
font-family: TTNorms-Reg;
}
In my controller i tried
$pdf = PDF::loadView('frontend.attendees.ticket', $data)
->setPaper('a4', 'portrait')
->setOptions(['dpi' => 96,
'isHtml5ParserEnabled' => TRUE,
'isRemoteEnabled' => TRUE,
'enable_html5_parser' => TRUE,
'enable_remote' => TRUE,
'enable_css_float' => TRUE,
'chroot' => storage_path('/')]);
The view loads perfectly with
return view('frontend.attendees.ticket', $data);
But the pdf result is without images and fonts.
When enabling the warnings I get:
Permission denied on /pdf-fonts/TTNorms-Reg.woff2. The file could not be found under the paths specified by Options::chroot
Kinda stuck. Any help or hints are much appreciated!

Solved by adding the utm and cache to the storage/pdf-assets-cache/ folder. The steps:
Not needed:
#font-face {
font-family: 'TTNorms-Reg';
src: url('/pdf-fonts/TTNorms-Reg.eot') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('/pdf-fonts/TTNorms-Reg.woff2'),
url('/pdf-fonts/TTNorms-Reg.woff') format("woff"),
url('/pdf-fonts/TTNorms-Reg.ttf');
format("truetype");
}
Download load_font.php
https://github.com/dompdf/utils/blob/master/load_font.php
In terminal
php load_font.php TTNorms-Reg public/fonts/TTNorms-Reg.ttf
php load_font.php MG-mono public/fonts/MonumentGrotesk-Mono.ttf
Copy newly generated .ufm, .ufm.php, dompdf_font_family_cache.php files in
vendor/dompdf/dompdf/lib/fonts/ folder
to
storage/pdf-assets-cache/ folder
