Message-ID: <cf1368bf1003191730k18eda6fdgb0c5386f17bc695@mail.gmail.com>

Dear All,

I have been trying to install the math font kurier for about two weeks now
on a 32 bit Ubuntu (9.10) TexLive installation. The following are the steps
I followed:-


   1. Copied all the contents of package kurier in the appropriate
   directories in $HOME/texmf
   2. Ran mktexlsr $HOME/texmf
   3. Created a file called '99local-kurier.cfg' in
   $HOME/.texmf-config/updmap.d
   4. The contents of this file are [ ';' stands for end of line] : "Map
   kurier-cs.map;Map kurier-greek.map;Map kurier-sy.map;Map
   kurier-texnansi.map;Map kurier-ec.map;Map kurier.map;Map kurier-t2a.map;Map
   kurier-ts1.map;Map kurier-el.map;Map kurier-mi.map;Map kurier-t2b.map;Map
   kurier-wncy.map;Map kurier-ex.map;Map kurier-qx.map;Map kurier-t2c.map;Map
   kurier-exp.map;Map kurier-rm.map;Map kurier-t5.map;"
   5. When all this did not work, I copied all the contents of $HOME/texmf
   to /usr/local/share/texmf
   6. Ran sudo mktexlsr
   7. Copied the cfg file to /etc/texmf/updmap.d directory
   8. Ran sudo update-updmap

Now, when I try to compile the following simple tex file using pdftex, I get
the warning "pdfTeX warning: /usr/bin/pdflatex (file qx-kurierr): Font
qx-kurierr at 600 not found." Furthermore, when I try view the pdf, the pdf
viewer shows a completely white blank file.

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage{kurier}
\begin{document}
This is just a test.
\end{document}

When I try to compile the same file using latex, it gives zero errors and
warnings but when I try to view the dvi file, I can only see a bunch of
small rectangular pixels in place of the text.

Kindly help.

Sincerely yours,

Ashish

I have TeX Live 2009 installed, which includes this font, and have no troubles using the font; no installation was necessary.

I've been confused recently about Ubuntu's TeX Live packaging; as I understand it, it is supposed to have the most recent version of TeX Live (2009), but it seems "stuck" at 2007 on the (few) machines I've used. (I don't know what versions of Ubuntu they were, sorry.) I.e., `apt-get update texlive` claimed everything was up-to-date when it seemingly wasn't.

Perhaps asking on an Ubuntu forum the best way to install TL'09 would be the best approach. Sorry not to be of more help.
