cnv_facets is missing fonts

[stianlagstad]

I am using this docker image for cnv_facets: quay.io/biocontainers/cnv_facets:0.16.0--py38r36h4b26f60_1

This docker image can produce a few plots, which appear weird because (or at least I think it's because) of missing fonts. Here's an example (from https://github.com/dariober/cnv_facets/issues/38):

I tried to look into this myself, to see how I can build the docker image locally, but I'm not sure whether the bioconda recipe for cnv_facets is working at the moment, ref https://github.com/bioconda/bioconda-recipes/issues/46927. I however thought that it could be useful to have a separate issue for the missing fonts in the docker image here.

Any tips on how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

The docker image for quay.io/biocontainers/cnv_facets is built automatically on the bioconda side, and not in this repository. Fixing the issue in bioconda should automatically fix the docker image.

Thank you very much for responding. I have tried to use the package directly with conda, and then it produces the plot that I expect. Do you happen to have any pointers as to how the docker image for it is built?

You could try using extended-base image for more fonts. See https://github.com/bioconda/bioconda-recipes/blob/e9b59e5c80db76a16b4e970249807aad1f58f94e/recipes/mgkit/meta.yaml#L99 for example

Not quite sure about the build process on the bioconda side, sorry. I add assumed it was a simple 'conda install' in the containers, but if the behaviour is different, I'm not sure...

You could make an issue on the bioconda-recipe repository
