Using TexLive 2015 on OSX I have been having a problem with the classico font and possibly all fonts installed with 'getfreefonts'.   Using an earlier version of TexLive classico worked but when trying to use classico after upgrading to TexLive 2015 I have been getting error messages  such as:  !pdfTeX error: /usr/texbin/pdflatex (file URWClassico-Regular-lf-ot1--base): Fo nt URWClassico-Regular-lf-ot1--base at 480 not found  !pdfTeX error: /usr/texbin/pdflatex (file URWClassico-Italic-lf-t1--base): Font URWClassico-Italic-lf-t1--base at 720 not found  ==&gt; Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!   Notably, file URWClassico-Italic-lf-t1 is in folder "/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/tfm/urw/classico"  I tried reinstalling all the fonts installed using 'getnonfreefonts -a -d -f'. That appears to download and install all the normal fonts installed via 'getnonfreefonts', but reports errors:  Running 'mktexlsr /Users/jeremyharbinson1/Library/texmf...              [done]  Updating map files (updmap). Be patient...updmap [WARNING]: resetting $HOME value (was /Users/jeremyharbinson1) to root's actual home (/var/root). updmap [ERROR]: The following map file(s) couldn't be found: updmap [ERROR]:     classicovn.map (in /var/root/Library/texlive/2015/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg) updmap [ERROR]:     dayroman.map (in /var/root/Library/texlive/2015/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg)   etc.  - repeated for all the fonts it should have installed  If I run 'tex testfont' and choose 'classico' I get a message of which the essential part seems to be:  \testfont=classico not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found   I can find some classico related files (quite a few, in fact) in the texlive folder, so at least something is there, but presumably something important is missing (or there is something I need yet to do).

This question and answer is a response to a request from Joseph Wright.   Why shouldn't I use getnonfreefonts to install additional fonts? Why shouldn't I use updmap when installing or removing fonts?     Background  There are a number of questions on the site concerning problems caused by people installing additional fonts and using updmap to update the 'map' files on which TeX depends.  One common cause of these problems is the use of getnonfreefonts.  Other causes are the use of other font installation scripts or executing updmap directly.

When using pdflatex and the fontawesome package the below error shows up.   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! ! Fatal fontspec error: "cannot-use-pdftex" !  ! The fontspec package requires either XeTeX or LuaTeX to function. !  ! You must change your typesetting engine to, e.g., "xelatex" or "lualatex" ! instead of plain "latex" or "pdflatex". !  ! See the fontspec documentation for further information. !  ! For immediate help type H &lt;return&gt;. !...............................................     Wish to keep on using "pdflatex" instead of "xelatex" or "lualatex".

I am using the pdfpages package to include some other PDF documents into a LaTeX document I'm processing with pdfLaTeX.  One of the included PDFs has some uncommon fonts.  They are embedded in the original PDF, and show up fine when looking at the document in Acrobat (Reader or full).  However in the final processed document, certain glyphs do not show up in Acrobat.  pdffonts shows that all of the fonts used in the original PDF are also embedded in the final PDF from the processed LaTeX. The problem is occurring with both TeX Live 2007 on a Fedora 16 box and MikTeX 2.9 on Windows 7.    Any idea what's going on here?

Very neat that I can use any available Truetype font on my Windows machine with MikTeX and XeTeX.  %!TEX TS-program = xelatex %!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode \documentclass[]{article} \usepackage{xltxtra,fontspec,xunicode} \defaultfontfeatures{Scale=MatchLowercase} \title{Fonttest}    \begin{document}    \section{Section Title} {     \setromanfont{Palatino Linotype}       The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.   }   \section{Section Title} {     \setromanfont{ProggyCleanTTSZBP}       The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.   } \end{document}   Is there a way to automatically generate a font test page for every available font? So that I do not have to type a test page for every available font by hand?  Actually, I do not even know how to get to the Long Font Name required for \setromanfont -- short of typing it from the screen:   The Windows directory only lists the file names, obviously. Maybe this can be done in TeX itself, but I could manage it with a Python script or such like.

I am new in the LaTex world. I just installed yesterday Texlive 2015 et texstudio (last version) on my windows 10 computer. Everything seems to be working properly except for the template "Article{french}" which refuses to compile any minimal working example. The problem may come from the french option or Texstudio parameters. The "collection lang-french" and "babel-french" are installed. I checked in the TexLive manager. From that point I read all I can to find a solution without any success.  Here is what I wrote:      \documentclass[french]{article}     \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}     \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}     \usepackage{lmodern}     \usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}     \usepackage{babel}     \begin{document}      test     \end{document}   Here is the log file:   % les options suivantes (conseillées) par défaut : \abbreviations \disallowuchyph \overfullhboxmark \tthyphenation \tabbingaccents \automaticlettrine % désactivez les options de frenchle pour '«' et '»' ! % test eFrench = {\befr} \newcommand{\fbefr}{{\footnotesize E}F{\footnotesize RENCH}} \DeclareRobustCommand{\befr}{\fbefr}   I cannot understand what all this means as I have no knowledge on computer or software at all.  Would someone understand or had any solution to make my texlive usable in french?  Thank you very much !    The posted file ran without error until the recent update replacing frenchle by e-french in texlive. The file now generates  (/usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-dist/tex/generic/e-french/french.cfg !

So I downloaded a template for a CV. It uses XeLaTeX. I would like to change the font but I lost hope to find myself how I am supposed to do that. My OS is Windows 7. Here is a functional code that uses the original font Fontin. I downloaded it to make it work, and I would like to use something else (and something that uses accents (I speak french) !)  \documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article} % Default font size and paper size \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{caption} \usepackage{subcaption} \usepackage{textpos} \usepackage{fontspec} % For loading fonts \defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text} \setmainfont[SmallCapsFont = Fontin SmallCaps]{Fontin}  \usepackage{xunicode,xltxtra,url,parskip} % Formatting packages  \usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{xcolor} % Required for specifying custom colors  \usepackage[big]{layaureo}   \usepackage{hyperref} % Required for adding links   and customizing them \definecolor{linkcolour}{rgb}{0,0.2,0.6} % Link color \hypersetup{colorlinks,breaklinks,urlcolor=linkcolour,linkcolor=linkcolour} % Set link colors throughout the document  \usepackage{titlesec} % Used to customize the \section command \titleformat{\section}{\Large\raggedright}{}{0em}{} % Text formatting of sections \titlespacing{\section}{0pt}{2pt}{2pt} % Spacing around sections \usepackage{vmargin} \usepackage{fullpage}  \begin{document} \setmarginsrb{25mm}{0mm}{30mm}{0mm}{1cm}{5mm}{1mm}{10mm} \pagestyle{empty} % Removes page numbering  \font\fb=''[cmr10]'' % Change the font of the \LaTeX command under the skills section  \par{\Huge TacTac \textsc{TicToc} - OncheOnche \bigskip\par}  \par{\Huge \hspace{8mm}  huehuehue \bigskip\par}  \section{Données personnelles} \begin{textblock}{.9}(0,0) \rule{97mm}{0.09mm} \end{textblock} \begin{tabular}{rl} \textsc{Date de naissance:} &amp; 01 brumeneige 3030 \\ \textsc{Adresse:} &amp; Somewhere, sometimes \\ \textsc{Téléphone:} &amp; +123456789\\ \textsc{Email:} &amp; what about \end{tabular}   \section{Objectifs}\titlerule  I met a traveler from an antic land who said : Two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert... \\  %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- %   EDUCATION %-------------------------------------------------------------------------------                      ---------    \end{document}   I believe the problem comes from the lines  \defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text} \setmainfont[SmallCapsFont = Fontin SmallCaps]{Fontin}   But I don't know what I must change, where does the compiler look for the fonts... I saw other questions that look like mine, but all used Linux. I also saw that there could be some problems with fonts using spaces in their name (seriously...?)... Anyway. Someone got an idea ?

I have been receiving notifications about "failure to download extra data files" from update notifier. It asked me to download fonts in request from the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package. However, whenever I click on the "run this action now", a window pop up (see figure below) and it never got downloaded.     It keeps "waiting for headers" until timeout. Same thing will happen if I use the wget in terminal to download the package:  wget downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/andale32.exe --2016-05-02 11:57:32--  http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/andale32.exe Resolving downloads.sourceforge.net (downloads.sourceforge.net)... 216.34.181.59 Connecting to downloads.sourceforge.net (downloads.sourceforge.net)|216.34.181.59|:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response...    It will fail again.   I have noticed similar issues like , but the known solutions never worked on me. The wired thing is that I can download the font package from a browser like Chrome, and run the following command to fix the font problem:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer   with the fonts folder directed. But my question is do I have any problem with my package-data-downloader and terminal configuration? The sudo apt-get update command can run with a few errors and warning showing that but generally it can download data from internet. It only fails when the terminal connect to sourceforge or maybe similar websites.   Hopefully you have some idea on how to make the download from terminal work for all cases. Let me know what else information I can provide. Thanks!

I am new to MikTeX. I have set up a texmf tree and included that into MikTeX (works OK because the style files are found). But the font in that directory cannot be used yet, because the pdftex.map does not have the info from my map file.  I run initexmf --edit-config-file updmap (also with --admin) and enter (as the only line)  Map mymap.map   then I run updmap (also with --admin and --verbose), my mapfile gets listed as Parsing "c:\Path\to\mapfile.map".... But pdftex does not work, because it fails with:  Trying to make PK font abc8x at 600 DPI... ...   When I manually include the map file in first line of my .tex file   \pdfmapfile{+mymap.map}   everything is OK.  How do I do without the \pdfmapfile{...} line?

I am using texlive 2013, and just ran the following command to update the packages.  sudo ./tlmgr update  -all   After it finished, I tried to compile tex documents that uses tikz package as the following MWE shows:   \documentclass{article}  \usepackage{tikz}  \begin{document}       aaaa  \end{document}   Then pdflatex complains; it said:   (/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/tex/latex/pgf/utilities/pgfrcs.sty  (/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pgf/utilities/pgfutil-common.tex  ! I can't find file `pgfutil-common-lists.tex'.  l.556 \input pgfutil-common-lists.tex   The problem is that, pgfutil-common-lists.tex is indeed in the directory:   /usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pgf/utilities/   Why is that? pdflatex should be able to find it, right? I even download the  again, and replace the pgf directory in   /usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/tex/generic/   Nothing changed at all........... Any idea?

(FYI I am new to LaTeX)  I'm trying to compile a TeX document that someone else has given me. I had BasicTex installed, and it didn't seem to work. My friend said he uses TeX Live, so I tried installing that but I get the same error after typing pdftex document.tex:  ! Undefined control sequence. l.1 \documentclass                   [final,hyperref={pdfpagelabels=false}]{beamer}   I'm guessing that means the distribution I have installed does not support this tag, is that right?  How can I find out which distribution I should install?

I'm a real novice on LaTex, having only used it previously a small amount at University but not for a while. I've decided I'd quite like to transfer my CV to the LaTex moderncv style. I downloaded the package here  I use TexWorks, and I was hoping I'd just be able to open the template file from the moderncv download, compile it and edit the text to produce a nice CV. Unfortunately, when I try to do this I get the following error:  Running ttf2pk.exe... miktex-makepk: PK font umvs could not be created. !pdfTeX error: pdflatex.EXE (file umvs): Font umvs at 864 not found ==&gt; Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! texify: pdflatex failed for some reason (see log file).  So it seems to be a problem with not having a font package installed or something?! Do you know which package this is? And how do I actually download a font package so that TexWorks knows it's installed and thus compiles the file? I've heard people talk about Miktex package installer, but I don't think I have that available, but I set up all my LaTex stuff quite a while ago, so I'm not sure... Sorry for my very poor understanding of LaTex, I'd just like to find a way to get this moderncv package working asap. Any help would be much appreciated. Added MWE: \documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}          \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}  \moderncvstyle{casual}                            \moderncvcolor{blue}     \usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}  \name{John}{Doe} \title{Resumé title}                                \address{street and number}{postcode city}{country} \phone[mobile]{+1~(234)~567~890}                    \email{john@doe.org}                                 \begin{document} \makecvtitle  \section{Education}  \end{document}  still does not compile and produces the error:  !pdfTeX error: pdflatex.EXE (file umvs): Font umvs at 657 not found ==&gt; Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! texify: pdflatex failed for some reason (see log file).

Is there a font, available to -all- TeX users, that includes a glyph that can be recognized as the Unicode Replacement Character?  I realize I can use XeTeX with a  (or maybe any character not in the font), but I'm interested in using standard pdfTeX with standard LaTeX 2e and a pure ASCII input file.  The glyph typically looks like a filled black diamond with a white question mark inside it:    If no such font is available, what's the best robust strategy for getting such a glyph into a standard pdfTeX document (one whose input file has no Unicode or non-ASCII UTF-8 byte sequences in it) without using XeTeX or similar?  Inserting TikZ commands?  Raw PostScript?  Right now, for lack of a better solution, I'm using a \textbullet, simply because it's the boldest/blackest glyph I can think of, and it's available in most standard fonts.  Creating a custom font with one glyph in it is not really viable, or if it is it's a strategy of last resort, unless (perhaps) it can be done automatically and on the fly when processing the document each time.

Ok, so the problem is next, I use Liberation fonts in my XeLaTeX document:  \setmainfont{Liberation Serif} \setsansfont{Liberation Sans} \setmonofont{Liberation Mono}  \setmainlanguage{ukrainian} \setotherlanguage{english}   And Liberation Serif as well as Liberation Sans work as they should. But when an error      Package polyglossia Error: The current roman font does not contain the Cyrillic script! Please define \cyrillicfont with \newfontfamily.   occurs at the very end of the document where the monospace font appears for the first time as URL.  Also my friend has no problems like this on Mac.  Is this a problem with Tex-live distribution for Linux, or a problem with Liberation Mono ?
