Robotolight Font Not Working Properly Out of the Box

[DeveloperPaul123]

I'm having issues with the changes in 1a5691e. It seems that the robotolight font is not being found or doesn't exist.

Hi,

I am just a basic user. I am trying to use the docker command to compile my cv. I encounter the similar problem, it gives me below output on Ubuntu prompt. The roboto.sty is the issue.

..

(/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/fontawesome5/fontawesome5.sty
(/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/fontawesome5/fontawesome5-utex-helper.
sty (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/fontawesome5/tufontawesomefree.fd)
(/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/fontawesome5/tufontawesomebrands.fd)))

! LaTeX Error: File `roboto.sty' not found.

Please advise.

I think it's because the font used to be bundled with this repo, but the latex distribution inside of the container image advertised in the readme does not have the package

[rauerhans]

yup, using this image fixes it (albeit it's quite a bloated image, literally a full latex with gb of layers, but it works). E.g. replace the docker command with this should fix it for you:
docker run --rm --user $(id -u):$(id -g) -i -w "/doc" -v "$PWD":/doc thomasweise/docker-texlive-full make

Thank you for your follow-up. Yes, I read i can use the texlive-full but did not figure out the command. I will take note of above.

It was about 2 months ago, I read that it is related to the change of #403 . So at the end after many hours to searching and trying, i was inspired from the Overleaf website, copy the "fonte" folder (my "fix" was just to re-create the pre-403 version, I think)

and it was one big step forward for me towards successful compilation, plus some changes on latex script on fontawsome*.tff

It is working now for my need. It is my first experience with Docker.

Reverting commit #403 and add fonts dir solved this issue

I'd vote for keeping it as a package dependency, but we should update the README to clarify that it's not included in the thomasweise/texlive image. Users have then 2 options to address this then:

• Manually install the Roboto font in their Docker container
• Switch to thomasweise/docker-texlive-full, which includes all fonts but requires 2 GB of disk space.

There is also a hint to map local fonts to the Docker container as described here. However, this didn't work for me. Maybe someone finds a way to make it work with -v /path/to/fonts/:/usr/share/fonts/external/.

I'd suggest using OJFord/docker-texlive, it's updated weekly in a GitHub Actions cron job, and it's what I use myself, so slightly more tested in that sense. The thomasweise images seem not to have been updated for several years.
