Missing documentation regarding Java tools requiring font packages for downstream containers
As requested here, It would be useful to have 'guidelines' or FAQ entry to describe solutions for packages of Java tools that have GUIs, but downstream conda-derived docker or singularity images (e.g. from biocontainers) fail as particularly font libraries aren't included by default in the conda package.
Example (with solution: https://github.com/bioconda/bioconda-recipes/blob/master/recipes/fastqc/meta.yaml#L28 (adding fontconfigs
and font-ttf-dejavu-sans-mono
as requirement.
