Great Wiki! I never noticed it before! Thank you.

Well, it's not been there, I just created it

Wow the whole bunch in that short time!

bender02 · 2008-04-17 17:47:41

After it grows a little, maybe it would be useful to link it from the main wiki texlive page, since it's a bit hard to find through "search".

when I use pdflatex, output is crippled with lots of:

pdfTeX warning: pdflatex (file /opt/texlive/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/p
dftex.map): fontmap entry for `pcrb8y' already exists, duplicates ignored

this is really, really annoying.

I'm running circles. help?

I'm having this too..

lloeki · 2008-05-20 10:27:36

also, some are like this too:

pdfTeX warning: pdflatex (file /opt/texlive/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/p
dftex.map): invalid entry for `ptmbo8y': SlantFont/ExtendFont can be used only 
with embedded Type1 fonts

lloeki · 2008-05-20 10:45:29

here are the 'duplicates ignored' ones:

$ pdflatex file.tex | grep -A1 warning | grep '`' | awk '{print $5}' | sed "s/[\`']//g" | grep -v ':' | xargs echo
pcrb8y pcrbo8y pcrr8y pcrro8y phvb8y phvb8yn phvbo8y phvbo8yn phvr8y phvr8yn phvro8y phvro8yn psyr ptmb8y ptmbi8y ptmr8y ptmri8y pzdr

here are the 'only type1' ones:

$ pdflatex file.tex | grep -A1 warning | grep '`' | awk '{print $5}' | sed "s/[\`']//g" | grep ':' | sed 's/://' | xargs echo
ptmbo8y ptmro8y

it has been said before in the thread that the warnings can be safely ignored. still, this is extremely annoying.

Stefan Husmann · 2008-05-20 12:25:42

The quick-and-dirty-hack solution old be: rename or delete /opt/texlive/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map

Otherwise: Read the Wiki mentioned above and adjust the pdftex.map accordingly. Or write a bug report.

lloeki · 2008-05-20 12:52:25

as root I ran 'updmap-sys --edit' and special commented those entries (with the exclamation mark, as directed in the 'Map files' comment):

#!Map pcr8y.map
#!Map phv8y.map
#!Map ptm8y.map

now the first command above gives only 'psyr pzdr' (the second one gives nothing. yay.)

on to find in which map file those two fonts are hidden

lloeki · 2008-05-20 13:02:16

after som grepping here and there, I found this:

% troff-updmap.map.  Public domain.
% 
% This map file is just the same as troff.map, except that the entries
% for psyr, psyro, and pzdr are removed.  Why?  Because those tfm names
% already exist in the standard font support, as downloading the
% StandardSymL and Dingbats fonts from URW.  Therefore the entries with
% the Adobe names Symbol and ZapfDingbats causes a conflict.
% --karl, 5nov07.

looking at 'updmap-sys --edit' I see that troff.map is included. I changed it to troff-updmap.map.

no more warnings.

Stefan Husmann · 2008-05-20 15:02:15

Nice to hear that

foxcub · 2008-05-27 22:24:38

lloeki, have you looked at what fonts are used in your resulting pdf files (assuming you are using pdflatex)? I tried the fix that you described and while it appears to work (it removed warnings), it put Type 3 fonts into my PDFs, which is terrible. The solution of removing pdftex.map by Stefan Husmann has the effect of not only removing warning, but keeping everything Type 1.

I'm using pdflatex with a massive tex source, so there are a lot of fonts involved, and only a couple of them came out Type 3 with lloeki's solution, but I figured I'd point it out here in case somebody else runs into this problem.

Stefan Husmann · 2008-05-28 00:48:25

foxcub, did you use cmfonts with another fontencoding than OT1 in your documents? If you use T1 without doing a \usepackage{lmodern} I encountered, that the ec fonts where taken rather than something like cm-super.

But \usepackage{lmodern} is always a good idea for languages using the latin alphabet with some accents.

lloeki · 2008-05-28 15:02:37

Simply using Arev (Sans-{Roman|Bold|Oblique}) font package, although some maths symbols here and there and some monospace led to Bera (SansMono-Roman) and MathDesign (CH-Bold-Symbol-10) to be included automagically. Evince says they're all 'Type 1C' and I can zoom all the way in or out and get perfect rendering, including diacritics (french text here).

FWIW here's my preamble:

\documentclass[11pt,oneside,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{arev}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[francais]{babel}
\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}

I am making some figures with the pst-veu3d (pstricks) and wolud like to add some transparent surfaces, it's not important to the figures, but it wolud give a nice touch.

Unfortunately, I can not even get the examples at http://tug.org/PSTricks to work:

links:
http://tug.org/PSTricks/main.cgi?file=p … mples#coor
http://tug.org/PSTricks/pst-plot/3D/3d13.tex
http://tug.org/PSTricks/pst-plot/3D/3d13.pdf

Just gives me:
! Undefined fill style: `shape'.

Even tried the svn package of pstricks and core (thing shape is kind of new, but Arch is beading, isn't it), but no help there. How can I get this to work?

Edit: I also get an error on these examples: http://tug.org/PSTricks/main.cgi?file=E … ansparency

! Package xkeyval Error: `opacity' undefined in families `,pstricks-add'.

Edit 2: It seems to be new aditions to pstricks early 2008: http://perce.de/LaTeX/pstricks/pst-news2008.pdf
But shouldn't that be included in the svn packages by now?

Edit 3: The svn packages are from 2007, I'll try to build newer ones now.

Edit 4: imho: out of date svn packages in repo is more confusing than no svn packes in repo.

Edit 5: pstricks from svn works.

Firmicus was mentioning that there ought to be a new texlive release soon. By the way, you don't need to build the whole new svn texlive packages, just download the new pstricks and put them into your local texmf tree - that's what it's there for.

lessthanjake · 2008-06-06 14:41:36

When making pstricks figures with a lot of elements a get this error messagage.:

! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size=1500000].

Google told me to fiddle with /opt/texlive/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf and the run "fmtutil --byfmt latex". That didn't help.

I tried to increase

main_memory = 1500000

to various higer values and I tried to add the line

main_memory.latex = various larger values

But the error message continued to complain about [main memory size=1500000] so it doesn't seem like my changes are noticed.

How can I fix this problem?

At the moment I am only able to plot 1.5% of my dataset so I need to increase the limit at least hundred times.

Edit: I'm a TeX noob.

The method I described above works if you run fmtutil as user not root.

This is the log file: http://nedrebo.org/dump/report_20080606.log
And this is the figure consuming so much memory (the lower one): http://nedrebo.org/dump/plot_20080606.pdf

(But as I said in the edit above, if you missed it, the problem is now fixed.)

Stefan Husmann · 2008-06-06 18:03:27

Sorry I really missed that the problem was solved. BTW, fmtutil-sys run as root should do the same task system-wide.

damjan · 2008-09-02 16:21:54

Does this package support OpenType fonts, and also the OpenType locl feature (different glyphs for same letter in different locale).

If it does can someone write me an example how to make use of it?

bt · 2008-09-02 23:57:35

damjan -- xetex and fontspec cover the use of OpenType fonts. Look in the xelatex folder. I use it exclusively and it permits the use of all the fonts on you computer.

damjan · 2008-09-03 00:24:40

@bt
thanks but I'm a complete newb about *TeX .. what do I need to look for? Is there a simple example?

Marcel- · 2008-09-03 08:05:15

Just have a look at The Beauty of LaTeX for several examples. Or view the XeTeX home page. There is also a XeTeX companion.

You aren't a complete newbie about TeX itself, I hope?
