Install fonts for Linux 2026.2 OP prerequisite

In a previous release, we moved from Oracle Jdk 1.8.0_144 to Open JDK 1.8.0_212. Several fonts that Oracle supported are no longer available. These missing fonts will cause certain qTest features to not work properly, such as the Excel export functions.

As a prerequisite for installing qTest OnPremises for Linux deployment, install fontconfig on your Manager server. Fontconfig is a library that provides a list of available fonts to applications, as well as configurations to render fonts. These instructions provide the missing fonts for qTest functions.
