Change the fonts in the docx / odt documents

[aubertc]

Changing the fonts in the docx / odt documents to URW Gothic and Hack requires, if I understand correctly, to

• Follow this tutorial : https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/wiki/Defining-custom-DOCX-styles-in-LibreOffice-(and-Word)
• Making sure that the fonts are actually embedded (cf. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/benefits-of-embedding-custom-fonts-cb3982aa-ea76-4323-b008-86670f222dbc).

Some additional guidance may come from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34600141/how-to-specify-the-font-used-for-word-doc-exported-using-pandoc.

The odt version should be taken care of and documented with 4063488

[aubertc]

The docx version seems more challenging. Cf. jgm/pandoc#6728 and attempt with 174d641 (the template uploaded is simply the original template, not edited.)

[aubertc]

Editing the template using libreoffice gives better results, but Word then complaints:

However, clicking "yes" twice gives a document that can be read and correctly edited.

If this last change needs to be reverted, undo c819ae0 and pick back https://github.com/csci-1301/csci-1301.github.io/blob/174d64171f6b72664a7c41df8cff2e24627b9dfb/templates/docx/custom-reference.docx

Ok, with docx template, I receive this error:

So, it seems that using and embedding custom fonts for docx results in a website too heavy for github.

[aubertc]

Not embedding any font, the website is ~43 MiB and the zip archive is ~38 MiB (according to the logs).
f94bc90 is an attempt to make the website lighter while not breaking any functionality.

[aubertc]

After some optimization, the website is down to ~28 MiB and the archive to ~23 MiB. This may be enough to embed the fonts in the documents.

[aubertc]

Odt template goes from 11.8kio to 664 kio if I embed the fonts Hack and URW_Gothic in it.
The website goes up to ~62 MiB and the archive to ~57 MiB.

[aubertc]

The docx template goes from ~10kio to …3.4 MiB :-/
I will keep looking into this, but it may be a lost cause.
