A bug[0] was detected in the Odoo Docker image 15.0 when trying to print invoices with arabic fonts (and probably other languages that need specific font) . It appears that the necessary fonts are not available in the container image. Strangely, the issue did not exists in previous Odoo Docker images. It appears that `fonts-dejavu-core` package was installed incidentally by `wkhtmltox`[1] which is installed from the official website. Note that the Debian version of `wkhtmltopdf`[2] does not provide this dependency. In the 15.0 Docker image, while the `wkhtmltox` is installed the same way, the `fonts-dejavu-core` package was not installed because the dependency of `fontconfig-config`[3] was already fulfilled by the `python3-renderpm`[4] from Debian Bullseye. Finally, to add more confusion, the Odoo package have an indirect dependency on `fonts-dejavu-core` through the `python3-pydot`[5] package. This explains why the issue was not found before. In order to avoid all this spaghetti dependency hell, this commit adds an explicit dependency on one of the multilingual fonts available in the Debian packages.

Printing pages from Odoo result in missing footer and header, as per #977534 and #885833. There is currently no Debian-supported workaround for that, as Debian does not ship a wkhtmltopdf version built against a patched version of qt. wkhtmltopdf's upstream proposes a package[0] that has been briefly tested and proved to work with 14.0.0+dfsg.2-1 in sid, it is still still officially considered as unsupported.
