I did this previously in my custom Docker container, hoping I'd get at least some fonts installed. It appeared to install quite a few, and exited normally. tlmgr install collection-fontsrecommended And this is what is available to me. /opt/texlive/texmf-local # tlmgr info | grep "font pack" arphic: Arphic (Chinese) font packages i avantgar: URW "Base 35" font pack for LaTeX i bookman: URW "Base 35" font pack for LaTeX i collection-metapost: MetaPost and Metafont packages i courier: URW "Base 35" font pack for LaTeX grotesq: URW Grotesq font pack for LaTeX i helvetic: URW "Base 35" font pack for LaTeX mweights: Support for multiple-weight font packages i ncntrsbk: URW "Base 35" font pack for LaTeX i palatino: URW "Base 35" font pack for LaTeX i symbol: URW "Base 35" font pack for LaTeX i times: URW "Base 35" font pack for LaTeX wadalab: Wadalab (Japanese) font packages i zapfchan: URW "Base 35" font pack for LaTeX i zapfding: URW "Base 35" font pack for LaTeX If Helvetica doesn't work, I don't expect any of the others to either. I had tried Palatino and Times and both were ignored also.
