Does anyone know how to solve this?

It seems like this is coming from a dependency called "load-bmfont" according to this issue: #662

The problem was fixed in that repo, but no release has been tagged yet for Jimp to pick up, though I did notice this PR to just remove the dependency.

[philiprenich]

Whoops, apologise, it seems there was a new release, 1.4.1 Experience-Monks/load-bmfont#7 so it probably isn't that. Could be any number of dependencies then. Looks like pngjs had it as well. pngjs/pngjs#134 Seems like that was fixed in a later version than Jimp depends on though which could be where this error stems from.

This might be fixed. Would anyone here mind checking?

@hipstersmoothie As of 2/13/23 running Jimp 0.22.4 inside of a Node 16 Lambda I am still getting the warning about Buffer Deprecation

[bdwellons]

Seeing the same issue. 0.22.10 inside Node 18.x Lambda. Buffer deprecation. Any work around?
