--------------------------------------
tballison merged PR #33:
URL: https://github.com/apache/tika-docker/pull/33
> replace ttf-mscorefonts-installer with metric-compatible fonts (Liberation,
> Carlito, Caladea)
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-5005
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-5005
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Tim Allison
> Priority: Major
>
> I was recently annoyed that we had a failed build because of sourceforge:
> [https://github.com/apache/tika/actions/runs/40508823275] .
>
> Then I looked a bit more at licensing, and I think we should try to drop
> mscorefonts.
> :robot:'s input:
> {noformat}
> The -full and tika-grpc images install ttf-mscorefonts-installer, which
> downloads the
> fonts from SourceForge at build time, once per architecture. A mirror outage
> failed the
> arm64 snapshot push (run 40508823275). Earlier, the same package forced
> linux/arm/v7 off
> the platform list. Shipping an image with the fonts already installed also
> amounts to
> redistributing them under the MS EULA. Proposal: remove it (plus
> cabextract/wget if nothing
> else needs them) and add fonts-crosextra-carlito and fonts-crosextra-caladea.
> Before deciding,
> scan the PDF corpus for non-embedded fonts whose BaseFont is Verdana,
> Georgia, Trebuchet,
> Comic Sans, Impact, Webdings or Andale Mono, to bound how many documents
> would be affected.
> {noformat}
> Let me know what you think?
