Details

Description:

I cannot figure why I have missing fonts in the texlive distribution. It seems that everything related to `zptmcmr` cannot be found.

However the file is is /usr/share/texmf-dist
./tex4ht/ht-fonts/unicode/adobe/mathptm/zptmcmrm.htf
./tex4ht/ht-fonts/unicode/adobe/mathptm/zptmcmr.htf
./fonts/vf/adobe/times/zptmcmr.vf
./fonts/vf/adobe/times/zptmcmrm.vf
./fonts/tfm/adobe/times/zptmcmr.tfm
./fonts/tfm/adobe/times/zptmcmrm.tfm


The issue is still there even after cleaning ~/.texlive, possible cache, texhash, updmap-sys etc.

In case that helps, here is the full list of texlive package installed on my system and their versions

texlive-core 2013.33063-1
texlive-bibtexextra 2013.33039-1
texlive-bin 2013.30973-8
texlive-fontsextra 2013.33010-1
texlive-formatsextra 2013.31958-1
texlive-genericextra 2013.32809-1
texlive-htmlxml 2013.33024-1
texlive-langextra 2013.32796-1
texlive-latexextra 2013.33063-1
texlive-pictures 2013.33045-1
texlive-pstricks 2013.33056-1
texlive-publishers 2013.33042-1
texlive-science 2013.32850-1


Steps to reproduce:

>>> sudo mktexpk --mfmode cx --bdpi 300 --mag 1+276/300 --dpi 576 zptmcmr
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for zptmcmr.
mktexpk: perhaps zptmcmr is missing from the map file.
This task depends upon

in case this helps below is the output from udpmap-sys

I do not think this is a bug at all.

If this is not a bug, then what did I do wrong?
Comment by Stefan Husmann (stefanhusmann) - Sunday, 30 March 2014, 17:58 GMT
Nothing but your expectations are wrong. "mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for zptmcmr." says it all: What you want is not possible.
Comment by morgan (mfouesneau) - Sunday, 30 March 2014, 18:03 GMT
My bug is the missing font not that mktexpk cannot build it. Although if this is true why latex calls it to build it?
Comment by Stefan Husmann (stefanhusmann) - Sunday, 30 March 2014, 18:14 GMT
Adobe Times fonts are commercial. You have to buy them. texlive only provides virtual fonts (.vf) and TeX Font metrics (.tfm) for them.
Comment by morgan (mfouesneau) - Sunday, 30 March 2014, 18:20 GMT
There are tfm and vf files in the distribution. And the fonts are from texlive-fontextra.
Comment by morgan (mfouesneau) - Sunday, 30 March 2014, 19:06 GMT
It seems that it is linked to a '\usepackage{pslatex}'

I've never had to so far, meaning that either different fonts were used or that something changed in these fonts usage.

Please provide a document that you cannot currently typeset. I am not sure what you are expecting.
