I have built container with InstallFonts.cmd but some fonts were not copied from host to container.

Example:

The following japanese fonts were not on the container.

*********************

-a---- 2021/05/08 17:14 8990160 msgothic.ttc
-a---- 2020/08/09 8:51 9900400 msmincho.ttc

*********************

How can I copy all fonts (msgothic.ttc, msmincho.ttc....) from the host to the container ?
Do the following commands cause all fonts to be copied?

dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:ServerCoreFonts-NonCritical-Fonts-MinConsoleFonts /Source:O:\ /LimitAccess
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:ServerCoreFonts-NonCritical-Fonts-Support /Source:O:\ /LimitAccess
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:ServerCoreFonts-NonCritical-Fonts-BitmapFonts /Source:O:\ /LimitAccess
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:ServerCoreFonts-NonCritical-Fonts-TrueType /Source:O:\ /LimitAccess
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:ServerCoreFonts-NonCritical-Fonts-UAPFonts /Source:O:\ /LimitAccess
