Running updmap on MiKTeX 2.9 causes error

Post by mhle »

Hello, I'm trying to install a font, but when running updmap I get the following error:

fc-cache.EXE: Windows API error 1113: No mapping for the Unicode character exists in the target multi-byte code page.
updmap: The operation failed for some reason.
updmap: Data: C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\fc-cache.EXE

The OS is Windows 7.
Any help would be apperciated!

Thanks, M

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Please give us some more information ... what exactly did you do and what exactly did you change in your updmap.cfg?
