[texhax] Font installation

[Lars Madsen]

exactly where are those map files? Is it in the appropriate TDS structure?

I usually do a

kpsewhich file.map

to verify that it is found before I run updmap-sys

Subject: Re: [texhax] Font installation

Dear all,

I have not yet been able to resolve this issue. I'm trying to install two adobe fonts that I have used with TeX before (AGaramond and Frutiger). This time it is not working at all. I have put all the font files in my TEXMFLOCAL directory but I can't add the map files. The output of updmap-sys is:

$ updmap-sys --enable Map=agaramond.map
[sudo] password for henrikfr:
updmap is using the following updmap.cfg files (in precedence order):
  /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
  /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
  /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg
updmap is using the following updmap.cfg file for writing changes:
  /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg unchanged.  Map files not recreated.
updmap: Updating ls-R files.

As you can see the texmf-local directory is not included here which makes me think there is something wrong with the environment variables. This is what I have currently:

$ kpsewhich --var-value TEXMFLOCAL
/usr/local/texlive/2012/../texmf-local
$ kpsewhich --var-value TEXMFHOME
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local
]$ kpsewhich --var-value TEXMFVAR
/home/henrikfr/.texlive2012/texmf-var

Any suggestions?

/Henrik

Howdy,

What is the path to the font.map file as reported by kpsewhich: i.e., what does

kpsewhich font.map

return?

What are you using for `map' in

updmap-sys --enable Map=map

command? Who owns your TeX distribution? If it's owned by root you need to use `sudo' before the command.

Finally, did you ever run updmap rather than updmaap-sys? If so you have a map file in your personal texmf-var (TEXMFVAR as opposed to TEXMFHOME) which is overriding the system one.

Good Luck,
