I'm trying to use the pandoc/extra docker image with the eisvogel template and running into an issue when it is trying to get the necessary fonts.

$ docker run --rm --volume "$(pwd):/data" --user $(id -u):$(id -g) pandoc/extra:3.1.1.0 input.md -o output.pdf --template eisvogel

I've tried this using the pandoc/extra, pandoc/extra:3.1.1.0, pandoc/extra:3.0, and pandoc/extra:2.19 images and they all produce the same error.

The missfont.log file contains the following:

mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 tctt1095

FYI: I'm running on Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS with Docker version 20.10.12 (I know, it's old, but it's a work system and this is the supported version).

When using this image without the --template eisvogel option, then the PDF is created just fine. It appears to be only with this template that I'm seeing this error.

I have a similar issue with pandoc/extra: when using "--template eisvogel" within a github action I get an error message that the template file was not found.

@simondueckert: This is another problem. The $HOME variable is messed up in Github Actions. You need to use --template /.pandoc/templates/eisvogel.latex

@raven42: can you provide the input.md file you are using or at least the yaml part at the top ?

The yaml meta data portion is here:

Ok I've been able to isolate it to using back-quotes within a code block. Using this content produces the error.
