TeX Live and MacTeX ⇒ Complete Installation of TeX Live

[waterlinda]

I installed TeX Live recently, but it seems I didn't install it completely, for when I compile my documents, there always shows something missing. For example, when I try to compile a beamer file, I will get something like:

I can't find file 'phvr7t'

And it generated a missingfont.log:

What should I do to get all things I need installed?

[coachbennett1981]

I just installed this on my friends PC with Windows 7.. Can you put the file up here to see..

Use the TeX Live manager to install what's missing.

And perhaps run getnonfreefonts.

phvr7t belongs to the helvetic package.

Thank you. My system is Fedora 16, so I don't have Tex Live manager installed. However, this doesn't seem like an issue. The main problem is that I could not find helvetic package after running getnonfreefonts. Do you know where I could get the package??

Thanks in advance.

The Helvetica fonts are part of the PSNFSS package.

If you're running Fedora 16 then you might be using the official Fedora packages for TeX Live, which unfortunately are still for the old TeX Live 2007 and are not well-maintained. There are unofficial TeX Live 2011 packages for Fedora, but as you can see they are broken into lots of smaller packages, and from what I've seen they do not always work properly. You are better off using the official Tex Live 2011 installation media if you're on Fedora, it makes everything a lot easier. On my F16 system I have the phvr7t font in the /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/fonts/vf/adobe/helvetic directory.
