Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Problem with external fonts

[Uchman]

Hi!

I'm trying to finish a songbook, but there are a couple of issuses that frustrate me. I'm using the URW Palladio L font in the whole document, and for some unknown reason, I can't get the ǽ character or cyrillic to appear. When I tried to change to Palatino, I couldn't get the bold or italic versions. My guess is that something is wrong with my font database, but I don't know where to look and what to look for.

minimal working example

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{book}
\usepackage{luatextra}
\usepackage[papersize={12cm,8cm},top=0.2cm,bottom=0.2cm,left=0.2cm,right=0.2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[latin]{babel}
\usepackage{fontspec}

\begin{document}
\setmainfont[Renderer=Basic,Ligatures=TeX,Mapping=tex-text]{URW Palladio L}
URW Palladio L\\\textbf{Sanctus} \textit{etc.}
Pléni sunt c\'\ae li et térra.
И я не знаю почему.

\setmainfont[Renderer=Basic,Ligatures=TeX,Mapping=tex-text]{Palatino Linotype}
Palatino Linotype\\\textbf{Sanctus} \textit{etc.}
Pléni sunt c\'\ae li et térra.
И я не знаю почему.
\end{document}

This is what I get:

I'm using LuaTeX because there are Gregorian chants typeset with gregorio. The music is typeset with lilypond, and the songs (about 100) have all URW Palladio L defined as the main font.

One more thing, the log file:

Update:
Installed TeXLive 2011 on Ubuntu 12.04 beta1. Copied Palatino Linotype from Windows, everything is OK. I just saw that URW Palladio L does not have Cyrillic characters, meaning it is impossible to do what you require.

Apparently the problem is on your side. You should reinstall your TeXLive distribution and then Palatino will work.


First I had to download the font.

Shapes for Palatino are OK. The rest is a mess. Encoding is UTF-8.

Also you can change the font of all your songs, if it is not an issue.

Seems you are using TeXLive 2011 on Linux, and I use it on Windows. Maybe that's why the files differ.

Thanks, Nikolay. I had to change the font to Palatino, but finally the cyrillic worked. There is, however, one issue: most of the songbooks have already been printed, and if I want to add new pages now, I can see the differences in the font shapes. Well, I suppose it's my fault --- not checking everything before printing...
