Available default fonts in a factory pandoc/latex Docker image?

Available default fonts in a factory pandoc/latex Docker image?

[Shakrmaker]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1321 bytes --]

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know how can I determine the list of available default, 
included fonts (limited as they are) inside a factory 
<https://hub.docker.com/r/pandoc/latex/tags> pandoc/latex docker image; 
and/or list them when running a GitHub Action?

eg.

jobs:
  convert_via_pandoc:
    runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
      steps:
        uses: docker://pandoc/latex:2.14.0.1

Other than trying multiple convert attempts with pandoc -V fontfamily=[wild 
guessing] and hoping I hit a valid one :)

Basically I'd just like to set the font family to a factory san-serif font 
and be done (if anyone happens to know that list) . Or somehow I can list 
the available fonts inside these pandoc docker images.

If the latter, would I spin up the docker image separately from a GitHub 
Action, access the container OS and fc-list? Or?

Sorry, I'm not super familiar with all this stuff, obviously.

Thanks in advance.

Well, if I'm doing this correctly... when I spin up the 2.14.0.3 
docker/latex image and poke around, in:
/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/

I see in: 40-nonlatin.conf:

<!--                                                                                   
 
  Sans-serif faces                               
 -->                                                     
        <alias>                                                   
                <family>Arshia</family>
                <default><family>sans-serif</family></default>
        </alias>                                         
        <alias> 
                <family>Elham</family>
                <default><family>sans-serif</family></default>
        </alias>                                         

...and a continued long list of sans serif ^ font family entries.

Does this mean they're available as a GitHub Action arg with -V 
fontfamily=Elham, etc? I will try that out next.

Well, when I tried Elham my GitHub action run failed on the font, and when 
I check these in the factory local docker/latex 2.14.0.3 image, I seem to 
be coming up empty:

# ls /usr/share/fonts
ls: /usr/share/fonts: No such file or directory
# ls /usr/local/share/fonts
ls: /usr/local/share/fonts: No such file or directory
# ls ~./fonts
ls: ~./fonts: No such file or directory
# fc-list
#

The interesting thing to a newbie like me - is where is pandoc getting its 
default *Latin Modern* from the docker/latex image? Since the docs say for 
this latex variable:

https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#variables-for-latex > *Fonts:*
*"fontfamily* font package for use with pdflatex: The default is Latin 
Modern <https://ctan.org/pkg/lm>."

This is the normal behavior. Latin Modern comes packaged in LaTeX itself. 
If you need a different font, you can customize your own docker image based 
on the pandoc/latex image and install the appropriate package (installing 
packages at runtime has not worked for me), or use --pdf-engine=xelatex and 
map your fonts directory as a volume onto the docker container. In the 
latter case, you can no longer use the `uses:` syntax in GitHub Actions, 
but have to declare it with `run:`.

Thanks Pedro for confirming. I guess I will look at building a custom 
docker image with a basic sans serif font installed, and use and maintain 
that image going forward.

Ok, well I built a custom docker image based on:
pandoc/latex:2.14.0.3

Then I did this in my custom Docker container, hoping I'd get at least some 
fonts installed. It appears to install quite a few, and exited normally.
tlmgr install collection-fontsrecommended

Then in my custom Docker container CLI, I do this, I look for Helvetica, 
and get this:
/opt/texlive/texmf-local # tlmgr search --all "fonts" | grep helv
helvetic - URW "Base 35" font pack for LaTeX
helvetic:
    texmf-dist/fonts/afm/adobe/helvetic/phvb8a.afm
    texmf-dist/fonts/afm/adobe/helvetic/phvb8an.afm
    texmf-dist/fonts/afm/adobe/helvetic/phvbo8a.afm
    texmf-dist/fonts/afm/adobe/helvetic/phvbo8an.afm
    texmf-dist/fonts/afm/adobe/helvetic/phvr8a.afm
    ...etc

I've pushed this custom Docker image to my repo on Docker Hub 
<https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/tojdk/pandoc-latex-fonts>, and my 
GitHub Action in another repo loads my custom Docker image, and calls 
convert_via_pandoc with this arg
 -V fontfamily=helvet

While it runs my custom Docker image, and converts the PDF, I still don't 
get Helvetica, I still get Latin Modern in the PDF. What am I doing wrong?

*Note:* I can tell that "helvet" is the desired spelling. Since if I 
misspell it intentionally, or feed that -V fontamily argument some bogus 
font family name, the conversion will fail on the missing '.sty'.

Is there something I still have to configure in my custom Docker container 
image to use that installed Helvetica font? Or should that tlmgr install 
collection-fontsrecommended have been sufficient?

Thanks

Re: Available default fonts in a factory pandoc/latex Docker image?

[Pedro P. Palazzo]

OK, there's something weird going on with Pandoc (not the Docker image). I created a test file with the following in the front matter:

---
fontfamily: helvet
header-includes:
- \renewcommand\familydefault{\sfdefault}
---

If I run `pandoc -o myfile.pdf`, it does NOT use Helvetica. However, if I run `pandoc -o myfile.tex` and then `pdflatex myfile`, the document DOES come out in Helvetica. Not sure where to go from here, though.

Re: Available default fonts in a factory pandoc/latex Docker image?

[John MacFarlane]

I do get Helvetica font when I try this (pandoc test.md -o test.pdf).

Re: Available default fonts in a factory pandoc/latex Docker image?

[Shakrmaker]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 7431 bytes --]

Here's the -V arguments I'm calling when running convert_via_pandoc with my custom 
Docker image 
<https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/tojdk/pandoc-latex-fonts>. The -V 
margin-[side] arguments work perfectly, I can change them, or omit them, 
and those changes are reflected in the output PDF. But the -V 
fontfamily=helvet argument appears to be ignored.

Some portions are blurred for privacy (repo, -o output file path, input 
file path), see attached image from my action log.

Thanks for any help!

Re: Available default fonts in a factory pandoc/latex Docker image?

[Shakr Maker]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1186 bytes --]

I've tried which I believe is your guys' way; using front matter via *-d 
FILE* per
https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#general-options

When I use that argument below with a valid data file that pandoc finds, in 
the GitHub Action run with my custom Docker image 
<https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/tojdk/pandoc-latex-fonts> (note: 
which again.. is just the generic pandoc 2.14.0.3 docker image with tlmgr 
install collection-fontsrecommended applied to it and using default latex 
converter):

-d pandoc-pdf-config.yaml

Whose file file contents above ^  contains just this:
---
fontfamily: helvet
...

I get this in the run:

Error parsing pandoc-pdf-config.yaml line 2 column 0:
Unknown option "fontfamily"

Thoughts? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for any help!

Hi John, Pedro,

Where (in what file) are you defining this yaml when you get your Helvetica 
result? Are you adding this yaml to your .md file? Or some other file? How 
are you calling it and with what arg?
---
fontfamily: helvet
...

I've tried passing it in as *-d* (which it apparently isn't, based on 
https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#default-files)
I've tried using *--metadata-file* (which it perhaps isn't and appears to 
ignore https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#option--metadata-file)
I've tried passing it in as a sequential yaml file per 
(https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-yaml_metadata_block)
And I earlier tried the straight argument without the yaml, *-V 
fontfamily=helvet*

None of them work. I still don't get Helvetica.

Thanks for any help!

Reading the relevant parts of the manual should clear things up:

https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#option--defaults

https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#default-files

I always use XeLaTeX but I think that fontfamily should go in the metadata
section of a defaults file:

``````yaml
metadata:
  fontfamily: whatever
  fontfamilyoptions:
    - 'option=value'
``````

Using XeLaTeX (`pdf-engine: xelatex` in a defaults file or
`--pdf-engine=xelatex` on the command line) along with `mainfont:
Helvetica` would probably solve your problem instantly provided the system
in your docker image has this font installed (or you might install Noto
Sans as a very good alternative if a free Helvetica OTF/TTF version isn't
available). However XeLaTeX is considerably slower than pdfLaTeX which may
matter if you are serving this live.

Hi BP,

Thanks for the advice, but yes, I've spent days and days reading, and 
trying and experimenting with all of the listed options and arguments. It's 
astonishing something so simple as setting a font family could take such a 
massive amount of time. Regarding use of -d

https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#default-files says:
*"Here is a sample defaults file demonstrating all of the fields that may 
be used:"*
[code block]

fontfamily is not included ^ in that code block above, of valid metadata or 
defaults values.

If you or anyone has *a working local version* using pdflatex, I'd love to 
see:

1. Your *exact* pandoc command used
2. Your *exact* yaml file if one is use
3. The argument you are using to call that yaml

Thanks!

I have been using the EB-Garamond font package by setting it up in my 
defaults file under variables, not metadata:

variables:
  font-family: ebgaramond

However, I have had no such luck with the Helvetica package.

It may be because the Helvetica found on the system is a Type 1 font rather
than an OTF or TTF font, or it is not found at all. I don't know if that
matters to pdfTeX but IIRC it matters to XeTeX so maybe. That is why I
suggested using some other good sans font.

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.
