[Tex/LaTex] Sharelatex with texlive and special fonts

fontssharelatextexlive

I installed the docker image of sharelatex community edition and installed texlive scheme-full with the tlmgr command within the docker container.

When I try to compile one of my projects, there is an error:

LaTeX Font Info:    Try loading font information for U+ifclk on input line 5.
(/usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-dist/tex/latex/ifsym/uifclk.fd))

!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file ifclk10): Font ifclk10 at 657 not found
 ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

It is not only with the ifsym font but with all fonts I am using e.g.

\usepackage{aurical}
\usepackage{calligra}
\usepackage{yfonts}
\usepackage{uncial}
\usepackage{rustic}
\usepackage{rotunda}
\usepackage{inslrmin}
\usepackage{pbsi}
\usepackage{egothic}
\usepackage{sqrcaps}

If I use find to look if the files exist, I get following output.

/usr/local/texlive# find . -name "ifclk*"
./2015/texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/ifsym/ifclk.gen
./2015/texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/ifsym/ifclk10.mf
./2015/texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/ifsym/ifclkb10.mf
./2015/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/public/ifsym/ifclk10.tfm
./2015/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/public/ifsym/ifclkb10.tfm

Looks like everything exists – so I don't know what I am doing wrong here. Does anyone have an idea what I can do?

PS: If I install texlive-full via apt-get command, everything works fine – problem with this is the distribution packages are from 2013.

Best Answer

Ok, if anyone stumbles over this. The docker image for sharelatex is missing one essential line.

chown sharelatex:sharelatex /var/www/sharelatex

/var/www/sharelatex is the home dir of the sharelatex user and if latex tries to compile with temporary files (e.g. mktexpk for fonts) it fails because it cannot write in its home directory.
