Docker setup doesn't have access to user fonts

See original GitHub issue

When building using docker in Linux, fonts installed in ~/.local/share/fonts/ won’t work. I guess a -v mount trick could be used. I decided to build phantomjs instead.

I haven’t confirmed if docker has access to globally installed fonts.

Right. Otherwise we can add an item in the FAQ.

Just for reference, since this image runs with node as user, the full path is /home/node/.local/share/fonts.

I used the following to get default Microsoft fonts working:

wget --output-document fonts.zip https://www.w7df.com/files0/Windows7DefaultFonts.zip?dl=1 && unzip fonts.zip && rm fonts.zip
docker run (...) -v `pwd`/Windows7DefaultFonts:/home/node/.local/share/fonts (...)

Similarly, emojis in my presentation rendered in colour in Chrome, but for some reason showed in black-and-white when running it through Decktape.

I used the following to get colour emojis:

wget https://noto-website.storage.googleapis.com/pkgs/NotoColorEmoji-unhinted.zip && unzip NotoColorEmoji-unhinted.zip && rm NotoColorEmoji-unhinted.zip
docker run (...) -v `pwd`:/home/node/.local/share/fonts (...)
