Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Texlive package name for URW-Garamond

[curiouslearn]

Hi,
Does anyone know the package name for urw-garamond on texlive? When I try to use

Code: Select all

\usepackage[urw-garamond]{mathdesign}

I get the error:

Code: Select all

pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file ugmm8a.pfb): cannot open Type 1 font file for reading
==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

I suppose the font files are missing. I need the package name which I can install using the command

Code: Select all

sudo tlmgr install packagename

Would appreciate if someone could help.

Thanks.

Hello,

Beside the pure mathdesign manual you may find additional information in the mathdesign-garamond documentation.

I had the same problem, and I realized that the font files were not installed. I don't know if you can install them using tlmgr, since I did it manually; the package name is urw-garamond in case you want to try. With the information in this link and the ones provided by marco_d and localghost should suffice. If you have further problems let us know. Cheers,

use

Code: Select all

getnonfreefonts-sys

the garamond font is free, but has a no sell license, thus cannot be distributed as a part of TL. But you are free to installed in your own system.

Code: Select all

getnonfreefonts-sys -a

will install all fonts (it covers a short list of fonts, the lists can be seen using -l

Thank you all for replying. I used the method suggested by Daleif and it works like a charm. However, instead of using getnonfreefonts-sys -a, I used getnonfreefonts -a. Hopefully, that does not cause any problems in the future.

[daleif]

getnonfreefonts-sys will install it system wide, whereas getnonfreefonts install the fonts locally under your user.

This is a very useful hint concerning font installation. But I couldn't find any source where this script is documented apart from its help function. The "TeX Live Guide" only mentions that it is integrated in the distribution but doesn't have any details.

That was awesome daleif! It saved me from pain installing the rest of fonts LOL!

[daleif]

I don't thing there is more documentation for getnonfreefonts, the help message says everything you need to know.

But you might be right if you do notknow the difference between

$TEXMFHOME and $TEXMFLOCAL

and it is a but stupid actually, it should have asked tex and expanded those two variables.

The first is local the second is global
