Document Classes ⇒ latex font warning

[xyz]

I have this in the preamble of my latex file:

\usepackage{type1cm}

but I still get these latex font warnings:

LateX Font Warning: Font shape 'OT1/cmss/m/it' in size <10> not available
...

Is there something else I'm supposed to do, in order for latex to generate the
missing font shapes/sizes?

Thanks

You better use the fontenc package with the encoding parameter you need.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Moreover you should make sure that the cm-super package is installed on your LaTeX system. If all that doesn't help, provide a minimal working example (MWE) and add the log file as attachment.

Hi,

LateX Font Warning: Font shape 'OT1/cmss/m/it' in size <10> not available

the computer modern sans serif font is not available in italic shape, use slanted shape instead. That means use \textsl instead of \textit and use \slshape instead of \itshape when you are using cmss (\sffamily) with OT1 encoding.
This just to clarify, because I recommend to use the T1 encoding the way Thorsten wrote above. With T1 you are able to switch to italic with cmss.
Perhaps you want to try Latin Modern alternatively, they are derived from the Computer Modern fonts. Then write \usepackage{lmodern} together with T1 encoding.

The error I got was slightly different:

Code: Select all

slides.tex:20: Font shape `T1/cmss/m/n' in size not available(Font) size substituted on input line 20. Font shape `T1/cmss/m/n' in size not available(Font) size substituted

Adding package fix-cm worked; I think the title slide font was slightly too large.
