Add Adobe's open source Source fonts

[colindean]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I've come to really prefer Source family for the docs I write.

https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro

https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-serif

https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-sans

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd love for these fonts to be included in pandocker so I don't have to add them manually.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I could bake an image on top of pandocker or continue injecting them through mounts.

N.b. it's not on Debian or Ubuntu packages, but it is SIL OFL 1.1 like Liberation and many other fonts.

Hi !

Those fonts should be inside the image.

this image is now based on the pandoc/extra image and pandoc/extra does contains the sourcesanspro and sourcecodepro latex packages.

See https://github.com/pandoc/dockerfiles/blob/master/common/extra/packages.txt#L44

Can you provide an example ( file and command line ) and the error you get ?

[colindean]

Looks like Source Serif Pro is missing from that list. Proposed in https://github.com/pandoc/dockerfiles/pull/205.

[colindean]

I'm pretty sure that sourceserifpro is available now, and for good measure, I added it to the tlmgr invocation in my build:

$ tlmgr install draftwatermark glossaries sourceserifpro
tlmgr: package repository https://ctan.math.utah.edu/ctan/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet (verified)
tlmgr install: package already present: draftwatermark
tlmgr install: package already present: glossaries
tlmgr install: package already present: sourceserifpro

And then it fails, seemingly indicating that it can't find the font:

$ make -j all

Interestingly, I am able to get the above to build on one machine but not on another, and the other is one I'm on right now. Same error. But, it's using an ancient TeXLive distribution (2020!) with no ability to change that through the OS pkg manager... so I am installing TeXLive 20230313 through Homebrew but it'll take overnight on crappy hotel WiFi...

[colindean]

Didn't work, even after installing a new TeXLive and installing the sourceserifpro package through it on my Chromebook's Linux completely outside of Pandocker, so there must be something else going on.

Then the ~same error as above.

I'll continue to troubleshoot.

[colindean]

I ended up fixing it by switching from xelatex to lualatex for the pdf-engine option. I don't think I was using anything specific to xelatex so this is an acceptable out for me.
