+# External Font Support for Label Maker
+
+Label maker supports external font files.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Docker/Podman Setup
+
+1. **Download external fonts** (e.g., Noto Sans KR):
+   - Download from [Google Fonts](https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Sans+KR)
+   - Or use the Variable Font from [GitHub](https://github.com/notofonts/noto-cjk)
+
+2. **Create a fonts directory**:
+```bash
+mkdir -p ./fonts
+# Place your font files in this directory
+# e.g., NotoSansKR-VF.ttf
+```
+
+3. **Mount the fonts directory and set environment variables**:
+```yaml
+# docker-compose.yml
+services:
+  homebox:
+    image: homebox:latest
+    volumes:
+      - ./data:/data
+      - ./fonts:/fonts:ro  # Mount fonts directory as read-only
+    environment:
+      - HBOX_LABEL_MAKER_REGULAR_FONT_PATH=/fonts/NotoSansKR-VF.ttf
+      - HBOX_LABEL_MAKER_BOLD_FONT_PATH=/fonts/NotoSansKR-VF.ttf
+    ports:
+      - 3100:7745
+```
+
+Or with podman:
+```bash
+podman run -d \
+  --name homebox \
+  -p 3100:7745 \
+  -v ./data:/data \
+  -v ./fonts:/fonts:ro \
+  -e HBOX_LABEL_MAKER_REGULAR_FONT_PATH=/fonts/NotoSansKR-VF.ttf \
+  -e HBOX_LABEL_MAKER_BOLD_FONT_PATH=/fonts/NotoSansKR-VF.ttf \
+  homebox:latest
+```
+
+4. **Restart the container** and test label generation with Chinese, Japanese, Korean text!
+
+## Supported Fonts
+
+- **Format**: TTF (TrueType Font)
+- **Recommended Fonts**:
+  - Noto Sans KR (Korean)
+  - Noto Sans CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean)
+  - Noto Sans SC (Simplified Chinese)
+  - Noto Sans JP (Japanese)
+
+## Fallback Behavior
+
+1. **External font specified** → Tries to load from `HBOX_LABEL_MAKER_*_FONT_PATH`
+2. **External font fails or not specified** → Falls back to bundled Go fonts (Latin-only, **does not support CJK characters**)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Labels still show squares (□□□)
+- Check if the font file exists at the specified path
+- Verify the font file format (must be TTF, not OTF)
+- Check container logs: `podman logs homebox | grep -i font`
+
+### Font file not found
+- Ensure the volume is correctly mounted
+- Check file permissions (font files should be readable)
+- Use absolute paths in environment variables
+
+## Why External Fonts?
+
+- **Smaller base image**: No need to embed large font files (~10MB per font)
+- **Flexibility**: Easily switch fonts without rebuilding the image
+- **Multi-language support**: Add support for any language by mounting appropriate fonts
