Texlive Missing fonts issue

mfouesneau · 2014-03-28 07:26:24

Description:

I cannot figure why I have missing fonts in the texlive distribution. It seems that everything related to `zptmcmr` cannot be found.

However the file is is `/usr/share/texmf-dist`

./tex4ht/ht-fonts/unicode/adobe/mathptm/zptmcmrm.htf
./tex4ht/ht-fonts/unicode/adobe/mathptm/zptmcmr.htf
./fonts/vf/adobe/times/zptmcmr.vf
./fonts/vf/adobe/times/zptmcmrm.vf
./fonts/tfm/adobe/times/zptmcmr.tfm
./fonts/tfm/adobe/times/zptmcmrm.tfm

The issue is still there even after cleaning ~/.texlive, possible cache, texhash, updmap-sys etc.

In case that helps, here is the full list of texlive package installed on my system and their versions

    texlive-core 2013.33063-1
    texlive-bibtexextra 2013.33039-1
    texlive-bin 2013.30973-8
    texlive-fontsextra 2013.33010-1
    texlive-formatsextra 2013.31958-1
    texlive-genericextra 2013.32809-1
    texlive-htmlxml 2013.33024-1
    texlive-langextra 2013.32796-1
    texlive-latexextra 2013.33063-1
    texlive-pictures 2013.33045-1
    texlive-pstricks 2013.33056-1    
    texlive-publishers 2013.33042-1
    texlive-science 2013.32850-1

Steps to reproduce:

sudo mktexpk --mfmode cx --bdpi 300 --mag 1+276/300 --dpi 576 zptmcmr
    mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for zptmcmr.
    mktexpk: perhaps zptmcmr is missing from the map file.

Any help?

mfouesneau, welcome to the forums. Please use code tags as opposed to quote tags when pasting snippets. I have edited your post this time.

Thanks. Sorry about the confusion.

Maybe have a look at the updmap command (used to update font maps)

I did the usual

 updmap-sys 
updmap is creating new map files
using the following configuration:
  LW35 font names                  : URWkb (/etc/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg)
  prefer outlines                  : true (/etc/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg)
  texhash enabled                  : true
  download standard fonts (dvips)  : true (/etc/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg)
  download standard fonts (pdftex) : true (/etc/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg)
  kanjiEmbed replacement string    : noEmbed (/etc/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg)
  kanjiVariant replacement string  :  (default)
  create a mapfile for pxdvi       : false (default)

I suppose some maps are missing but cannot figure which one.

Some texlive setup commands which I use, in order:

# Fixes "can't find foo.{tex,sty}" errors
mktexlsr --quiet

# From http://tug.org/pipermail/tlbuild/2010q2/001606.html
# Comments out comicvn.map and mscorevn.map from /usr/share/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
updmap-sys --quiet --syncwithtrees

# Running "--missing" first, to fix these 2 errors:
# tcfmgr: config file `tcfmgr.map' (usually in $TEXMFMAIN/texconfig) not found (ls-R missing?).
# fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.
fmtutil-sys --quiet --missing
# "--all" is the important command.
fmtutil-sys --quiet --all > /dev/null

Note that I did not have sty, tex issues, nor declared and missing fonts

After running all @brebs commands, I still get the same issue.

mktexpk needs metafont sources. Adobe Times is a Postscript font, so this cannot work.

What is really your problem? Do any documents including times fonts not compile?

Yes. I basically make figures with python and any figure that requires latex ends up without any text because of this missing font.

I also found out that my pdftex.map contains corrupted lines:

Solution for me in similar situation - to clear ~/.texlive

As mentioned I tried many times. Did not solve the problem, which I believe related to how lines end by something like `hlj_____`
