documentation-builder: Add fonts to better handle unicode data from hotdoc-html-2-pdf

Emanuele Aina requested to merge wip/em/tex-is-horrible into apertis/v2020pre

It's 2019 and *TeX still lacks proper glyph fallback, so we get the following errors on make pdf on the docs/apertis-docs> repo:

A commit in the documentation repository addresses those by:

  • setting up a CJK font so we don't erase team members
  • setting up a monospace font which has large Unicode coverage without requiring fallbacks, so a in a code snippets doesn't end up in a unrendered character

This commits adds the required fonts to the Docker image used for building the documentation.

See https://gitlab.apertis.org/docs/apertis-docs/merge_requests/18 for the actual code change.
