Text Formatting ⇒ font error while running latex

[amitk]

while running latex i received the error:

Code: Select all

Font LGR/cmr/m/n/10.95=grmn1095 at 10.95pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file no

and a description:

Code: Select all

 ...e the film thickness was 30~\textgreek{m} m
I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
so I will ignore the font specification.
[Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.]
You might try inserting a different font spec;
e.g., type `I\font<same font id>=<substitute font name>'.

The file was successfully rendered on other machine.
How can I fix it?

A full example is going to help here: we don't know what fonts you are trying to load.

[localghost]

My crystal ball tells me that the Metafont versions of an unspecified font are missing. But sometimes it's right, sometimes it's wrong. Joseph already pointed out the next step.

This is a Greek font, so you need to install the Greek support files that should come with your distribution,

How do I install the Greek support file?
I made a full installation of the tex-live on my computer (Linux Ubuntu). How can I verify that Lyx is using this installation (at the university, I installed the Lyx on windows, and worked with no additional considurations).

If you have a full installation, then all required files should be there. Try entering

Code: Select all

kpsewhich grmn1095.tfm

in a terminal, and check if something is found.

[amitk]

it give nothing (not error nor information)

[phi]

No output means that the file is not found. So the font (and probably the Greek support) is not installed.

I made a full installation of the TexLive, and it's not working. I think it's not recognizing the new latex installation. how do I solve this problem?
