[Solved] Texlive: Missing font when running pdflatex

Hi,

I have a problem, when I try to translate my Latex Document with pdflatex.

When I run

pdflatex texfile.tex

I get the following error:

!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file fmex9.pfb): cannot open Type 1 font file for reading
==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

and no pdf file is created.

This problem occurs only when I try use the pslatex fonts, by adding to my tex-file:

\usepackage{pslatex}

When I run

latex texfile.tex

everything is fine and I get the right fonts in my dvi-file.

How could I solve this problem?

Please try 'sudo updmap-sys --syncwithtrees', or 'updmap --syncwithtrees'. I think that texlive should use cmex* fonts instead of fmex* fonts.

I wrote some explanation of how does texlive look for fonts if you're interested: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 95#p647095

Thank you,

'sudo updmap-sys --syncwithtrees' solved the problem.

'updmap --syncwithtrees' I had tried before. But that didn't help.
