Fonts issues

Postby damienl » May 29th, '13, 00:12

Hi,

I just finished to install Mageia 3 with Gnome and I am facing fonts issues:
– I downloaded Google droid to be the main font in Gnome, that's fine but I cannot replace the standard mono font by droid mono, it does not appear in the list…
– I also downloaded Linux Libertine to be used in LaTeX, the font is right there in its texmf tree, but when I compile

Code: Select all
\documentclass[11pt]{article}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{libertine}

\begin{document}
This is my first LaTeX document with Mageia 3.
\end{document}


I get no error, but no PDF… If I change libertine to helvet for example, I have a PDF.

Integation of LaTeX in Mageia 3

Postby damienl » May 29th, '13, 11:51

I installed the texlive 2012 and texlive-fontsextra packages, which include kpfonts

But

Code: Select all
\documentclass[10pt]{article}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{kpfonts}

\begin{document}
This is my first LaTeX document on Mageia 3.
\end{document}


ends with no PDF…

In addition, Mageia seems not to be able to lunch tlmgr.

Here is part of the answer for LaTeX http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/116636/zero-error-but-no-pdf?noredirect=1#comment259033_116636

The last comment says I should say something to the bugzilla…

I've merged your two topics into one, please next time don't double-post.
Have you tried to add the \listfile stanza to get more information via the log as suggested in the post you're referring to?
