What is the best way to import a font, ttf, without webpack?

I am using react-pdf to generate a file. With vite I am able to display it in browser but I would like to add a cli command to be able to generate it quickly. Using babel with babel-node I’m able to reuse most of the code but the font imports are failing with unexpected format errors.

import Roboto from ‘./fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf’;

Is there a file loader I can add to handle this type of import so the code is still shareable between vite and my cli command.
