I tried adding Hindi translations for a few labels but the preview fails to render Hindi characters. It does work as expected for Hebrew characters. The screenshot below demonstrates both.
Expected behavior: Hindi label is displayed in preview
Actual behavior: Unknown character glyph is displayed instead

Issue with other Indic languages.... Not able to translate to Malayalam, Tamil too.. Showing only rectangular boxes.
Do we want to add all the fonts from mediawiki::packages::fonts? It seems likely that we could get away with a subset, but I'm not sure which could be left out.
Change 488764 had a related patch set uploaded (by Samwilson; owner: Samwilson):
[operations/docker-images/toollabs-images@master] Add all fonts used in production MediaWiki
Yes, I think we do want all the fonts. From the patch, it seems just as easy to include them as not.
The Stretch grid has all these fonts, and RSVG. I've switched the staging site to use it, and things seem okay.
This task is ready for QA (no code changes required).

Add all fonts used in production MediaWiki
Reason:
Not required if we use the Stretch job grid.
@Samwilson Awesome! Works well for me. Can we switch the production site to Stretch too?
Seems like we could maybe just use the next deploy as an opportunity to deploy to Stretch.

Done.

Sorry Alex, I only just saw your comment (I was working from emails). I didn't deploy any new code. Prod is currently at (untagged) ca6dba24555536c0866c754ac3ec1b5c9b8f6019 — I'll be sure not to deploy non-tagged releases any more to production. :)
