Font Encoding Issue in Journal Template

Post by pemfir »

I am trying to submit a paper to Inderscience Journal. They have a LaTeX template but I keep getting a lot of error messages when trying to compile their own templates. The latest error message I get is like this.

Code: Select all

! Package fontenc Error: Encoding file `ly1enc.def' not found.(fontenc)
You might have misspelt the name of the encoding. See the fontenc package
documentation for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.... \ProcessOptions

! LaTeX Error: Encoding scheme `LY1' unknown. See the LaTeX manual or
LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.... \fontencoding\encodingdefault
I have found a "ly1enc" page online, but do not know what to do with it? I have copied and pasted it into a text documents under .bst and .sty extensions in the main folder, but it does not fix the problem.

I am using Windows operating system.
Thank you !

Install the ly1 package by the package manager of your TeX distribution.

Just do a search for the exact name of the missing file ("ly1enc.def" here) with your favorite search engine. This should bring you enough information that leads you to the package.
