LaTeX forum ⇒ Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Gentium source could not be found

[ipc2002]

Dear all,

I have following problem, I like to use the gentium package but I only got the error:

miktex-makemf did not succeed for the following reason: The ec-gentiumplus-italic source file could not be found
Sorry, but miktex-makepk did not succeed for the following reason: PK font ec-gentiumplus-italic could not be created.

Any ideas about that?

Here is my minimal example:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] ({untitled.tex}) Open in Overleaf

\documentclass[a5paper,11pt]{scrbook}
 
\usepackage{lipsum}
 
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
 
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
 
\usepackage{gentium}
 
\begin{document}
\chapter{Gentium}
Test
\section{Gentium}
\lipsum
 
\end{document}

I'm using MiKTex 2.9.6643-x64 and TeXstudio 2.12.8

Thanks a lot in advance!

Mathias.

Hi Mathias,

welcome to the forum!

Try this - run at the command line (cmd):

updmap --admin

Hello Stefan,

thans for your advice. Your recommanded command ran without any error with admin privilages ... but still the same error with the missing source file .
I also tried to use the MiKTeX Console -> Task -> Refresh font map files ... but as well without success :/.

May any other idea or logfile I could share/check?

Thx and BR Mathias.

Stupid I'am ...
Its necessary to update also the file name database:
initexmf --admin --update-fndb
Works like charm now! Thanks a lot!
