TeX Live and MacTeX ⇒ Some missing features in TeX Live (Fedora 10)

[joe74]

I'm under heavy use of TeXlive. I did install Fedora 10 for TeX Live 2007 comes by default.

I use mostly for my reports Utopia font style. I did a updmap and I see Utopia is included, but my late documents log this error (missfont.log):

My other alternative is Arial, so I tried to install by doing:

Code: Select all

$ sudo getnonfreefonts-sys -a

but the command was not found.

Might there be something missing in my installation? and if so... What could it be?

Thank you in advance for the help.

[joe74]

Well. I've had to use some alternatives for I had to solve this ASAP.

But still I need Arial font style for the final version of one of my documents.

Any ideas in how to solve this Arial issue in my installation?

Hi Joe,

you could try Helvetica:

Code, edit and compile here:

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[scaled]{helvet}
\renewcommand*\familydefault{\sfdefault}

Concerning similarity, history and differences of Arial and Helvetica have a look at

I got a similar set of commands. This you are showing me looks simple and easier, though. From the beginning I post in this category because I wanted to solve the global issue, but it's okay for I'm learning new things about LaTeX.

Thank you for the info Stefan.

On my TeX Live 2007 system (Ubuntu) getnonfreefonts-sys is contained in the texlive-base-bin package.

Stefan

[joe74]

In fact there's no such package (texlive-base-bin) in TeXLive 2007 for Fedora OS

[Stefan Kottwitz]

If you can't find it in the TL 2007 packaging you could try TL 2008. I've used its network installer and there were no problems with the installation.
