Adding fonts to NextCloud + Collabora
-
@nebulon no this is prevented by the --existing flag...that's the reason why I initially suggest to move the whole thing and afterwords only update the (still) existing... to get a whole copy of the primary folder one has to delete the font folder in app/data... then there will be again the full copy/move...
-
@nebulon Another try hopefully less hackish... According to the solution of rLoutrel found here ... maybe it is sufficient to simply:
RUN ln -s /app/data/fonts /opt/collaboraoffice/share/fonts/truetype/local
This one won't add /usr/share/fonts/ as extra volume to collabora and we won' have the ability to get rid of the intially installed fonts but should make it at least possible to add custom fonts via /app/data/fonts. So this might be a solution to the initial Question of SirFiChi...

Any chance of another look at this please @nebulon — these little things really help with user happiness, and the latest version is well worth the effort for making out go-to online office suite with Nextcloud.

Thanks for bringing this up again. I have published a new app package which supports adding fonts now. After copying the TTF fonts into the folder, the app has to be restarted as mentioned in https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/collabora/#adding-fonts

@BrutalBirdie what does invisible mean? Where are they invisible? Does
fc-match <fontname>
correctly recognize the font in the webterminal? -
root@7cca863b-c650-4447-9dba-c4653dafe333:/app/code# fc-match "Droid Sans" DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
Looks wrong to me...

root@7cca863b-c650-4447-9dba-c4653dafe333:/app/code# fc-match DroidSans DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
fc-match --all
Does also not include the fonts.
Also having the.ttf
files plain in no sub folder in/app/data/fonts
yields the same results.The fonts works tho on the local system.
