> I was recently annoyed that we had a failed build because of sourceforge: 
> [https://github.com/apache/tika/actions/runs/40508823275] . 
>  
> Then I looked a bit more at licensing, and I think we should try to drop 
> mscorefonts.

> The -full and tika-grpc images install ttf-mscorefonts-installer, which 
> downloads the fonts from SourceForge at build time, once per architecture. A 
> mirror outage failed the arm64 snapshot push (run 40508823275). Earlier, the 
> same package forced linux/arm/v7 off the platform list. Shipping an image  
> with the fonts already installed also amounts to redistributing them under 
> the MS EULA. Proposal: remove it (plus cabextract/wget if nothing else needs 
> them) and add fonts-crosextra-carlito and fonts-crosextra-caladea. Before 
> deciding, scan the PDF corpus for non-embedded fonts whose BaseFont is 
> Verdana, Georgia, Trebuchet, Comic Sans, Impact, Webdings or Andale Mono, to 
> bound how many documents would be affected.
