Thanks for opening your first issue here! Be sure to follow the relevant issue templates, or risk having this issue marked as invalid.

I believe there are more packages to install in the base image, to ensure basic multilingual accessibility, since this image is for running multiple daily GUI apps.

To illustrate this issue:

Looks promising. I will try these and see if the problem resolved.

[James4Ever0]

The log shows it failed to download the package from the default source. Is it possible to override the source URL with just environment variables?

Additionally I found several quick alternatives:

# configure `/System/Library/Fonts` to be available in Docker.app first then run this command
docker run -v /System/Library/Fonts:/usr/share/fonts:ro --name firefox_browser -d --rm -p 3000:3000 linuxserver/firefox
 
# Ubuntu and other Linux
docker run -v /usr/share/fonts:/usr/share/fonts:ro --name firefox_browser -d --rm -p 3000:3000 linuxserver/firefox

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. This might be due to missing feedback from OP. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

[thelamer]

Closing this is clearly laid out in the readme and we will not be including a font package larger than the whole container layer by default.
If you cannot install packages in the container you have dns/network issues.
