Non-TeX Fonts (via XeTeX/LuaTeX) don't work

sallam_ah · Post by **sallam_ah** » Tue Nov 01, 2011 10:40 am

Greetings,

this started when I intended to use Non-TeX/True Type fonts, note that i'm using:

Miktex portable 2.9
LyX 2.0.1

I create a *.tex file from "article" document class, then checked "Use non-Tex fonts (via XetTeX/LuaTeX)" and set the roman font to Virenda.

However it always gives me "Undefined control sequence" for the line

Code: Select all

1
\usepackage{fontspec}

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I checked the existence of this package in MiKTeX and it was there. After many tweaking I found out that this package was downloaded un-complete Through LyX

So I solved the problem by removing fontspec and install it again using the MiKTeX Package Manager, later every thing works like a charm.

hope this will help someone

Hi,

welcome to the forum!

There's no such error related to fontspec. The errors occur because the dinbrief class is too old and not updated, to work with a modern LaTeX installation.

Hi,

thank you. Sorry but my TeX knowledge might be as rusty and old as the dinbrief style

I took the dinbrief from the lyx templates. But even if I take the KOMA Template I get a similar result:

Hi Jan,

it seems that your LaTeX installation needs an update, at least for the kernel (expl3 and all packages starting with l3). From l3prop.dtx on Github I can see that the undefined command \prop_new_linked:N has been introduced 2024-02-12:

Code: Select all

The L3 version is still the same. Perhaps remove the l3* packages with the package manager (in user mode) and reinstall them.
