You may want to do this to add optional components, such as the tika-eval
metadata filter, or optional
dependencies such as jai-imageio-jpeg2000 (check license compatibility first!).
+### Fonts
+
+Fonts matter only when Tika renders a PDF page (OCR, page images, thumbnails)
and the PDF does
+not embed the font it uses; text extraction does not need them. The full image
includes
+Liberation for Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New, and IPA and WenQuanYi
for Japanese and
+Chinese. To render with other fonts, install them in an image of your own. For
example, the
+Microsoft core fonts (Verdana, Georgia, Trebuchet and others), whose license
you accept by
+installing them:
+
+```Dockerfile
+FROM apache/tika:3.3.1.0-full
+USER root
+RUN echo ttf-mscorefonts-installer msttcorefonts/accepted-mscorefonts-eula
select true \
+ | debconf-set-selections \
+ && apt-get update \
+ && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install --yes
--no-install-recommends \
+ ttf-mscorefonts-installer \
+ && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
+USER 35002:35002
+```
+
+The installer downloads the fonts from SourceForge, so the build needs network
access.

There are a number of sample Docker Compose files included in the repos to
allow you to test some different scenarios.
