Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ fontspec | Problems with "expl3" Package

[markof]

Hello, I'm trying to put a new font into my Beamer presentation using the package fontspec. The problem is that whenever I put fontspec in and compile (either with latex to pdf OR xelatex to pdf), I get 101 errors, most of which seem to relate to expl3.sty, l3names.sty, etc.

Because of this, I can't even compile, let alone put a new font in. Any solution to this would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a MWE:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[landscape]{beamer}
\usepackage{fontspec}

\begin{document}
  \begin{frame}
    hello
  \end{frame}
\end{document}

Let me know if you need a list of errors.

It goes without saying that you can only compile with XeLaTeX. In the past there have been some rearrangements concerning packages related to experimental LaTeX3 code. Update your TeX system and try again.

Ok, I've updated but the same problems exist. Attached is the log file.

The example compiles with "xelatex", but on TeX Live 2011.

If you want to compile with MiKTeX, you may update your packages, refresh configuration of MiKTeX, then it might work (I don't have it installed).

Also it may have something to do with Windows 7 being 32-bit/64-bit (not sure about that though).
