I've been writing my science homework assignments in LyX and I've been wanting to try something new that isn't working. I'm using "descriptions" to label the various problems and then within each item I want the document to be split into 2 columns. The left column contains the textual description of ...

Alright, so last night I downloaded the "Extra Fonts" and "Recommended LaTeX Packages" from TeX Live and now I appear to be able to use all the fonts that it downloaded, so I guess whatever it did fixed the problem with the metric (TMF) files.

So I tried that and it didn't work, but I'm at a place with good internet so I'm trying to download more of the package via TeX Live. We'll see if that solves it.

This exhibits the same error that I posted earlier:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{arev}

\begin{document}
Hello World
\end{document}

So I really don't know what to do. Something must be missing for me, I just have no idea what it is and I don't have the ability to download the entire ...

I suppose that I might as well add this. I tried installing another font with tlmgr...the font is Arev...and when I try to use it with


\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{arev}

I get this error:


kpathsea: Running mktexmf ecrm1000.mf
name = ecrm1000, rootname = ecrm, pointsize = 1000
mktexmf ...

okay...so I tried installing the font with tlmgr both ways (command line and gui) and when I search my comp for lxfonts I get nothing. I'm guessing here that tlmgr doesn't work. If that is the case, could someone just tell me where to put the .mf, .tmf, .fd, and .sty files (or any other files that ...

I am pretty sure that the package wasn't installed already because when I compiled with it I got an error telling me that the .sty file was missing. As for the manager, I tried getting it to work, but I haven't had enough time to really make sure that it installed the font properly. I will, however ...

I do have tlmgr, but I have no idea how to use it. Could you tell me what commands I need to give it?

I'm in a place with a horrible internet connection right now, which is why I didn't do the full install. If I had then I would have been waiting probably around 2 full days for it to download everything it needed. The font I want to install right now is LX Fonts . However, I want to know how to ...

Okay, so this is getting kind of silly, but I must have looked at 6 different tutorials, at least, on how to install fonts for LaTeX, and I still don't know how to do it. I downloaded a font from The LaTeX Font Catalogue , which comes with all of the files needed to use the font without compiling ...
