thomasWeise/docker-texlive-full

This is a Docker image containing a TeX Live installation with many required packages and several fonts. The goal is to provide a full Tex Live installation with all tools and fonts required to do stuff. We do not use texlive-full, but try to emulate it in order to save some space. Regarding the fonts, we have, e.g., the several pre-installed open Chinese fonts.

Unfortunately, all in all, this makes the container rather big and not very suitable as base image for my other LaTeX-related containers, such as docker-pandoc. Thus, we now also have a smaller Tex Live installation with fewer fonts and utils, namely docker-texlive-thin.

1. Building and Components

The image has the following components:

• TeX Live
• ghostscript
• poppler-utils

2. License

This image is licensed under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 3, 29 June 2007, which you can find in file LICENSE.md. The license applies to the way the image is built, while the software components inside the image are under the respective licenses chosen by their respective copyright holders.

3. Utility Scripts

Currently, we provide the following utility scripts in folder /bin/:

• filterPdf.sh <document> transform a document (either in PostScript/PS, EPS, or PDF format) to PDF and include as many of the fonts used inside the document into the final PDF. This uses ghostscripts gs and checks the output with pdftotext from poppler-utils before replacing <document> with the hope to build a final pdf that can display on as many machines correctly as possible.
