I can't find file `pplb8t' in texlive-small

[Siddharth Jain]

Hello,

I am using the texlive-small distribution on a Docker container running Ubuntu.
I am using the PSTricks package and have this line in my tex file:

\DeclareFixedFont{\PT}{T1}{ppl}{b}{n}{44pt}

which causes this error when I try to compile:


(/usr/local/texlive/2020/texmf-dist/tex/latex/psnfss/t1ppl.fd)
kpathsea: Running mktextfm pplb8t
/usr/local/texlive/2020/texmf-dist/web2c/mktexnam: Could not map source abbreviation  for pplb8t.

I have following packages installed on top of texlive-small

tlmgr install latexmk pstricks xcolor xkeyval pgf pst-text pst-grad pst-pdf preview

Also I do have the psnfss file on my system

/usr/local/texlive/2020/texmf-dist/tex/latex/psnfss/t1ppl.fd

which I think does nothing but define a bunch of PSTricks macros.

I think the problem has to do with latex not able to find the palatino font. On the full distribution, I see following files:


# find /usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/fonts -name palatino
/usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/fonts/map/dvips/palatino
/usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/urw/palatino
/usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/fonts/vf/urw35vf/palatino
/usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/fonts/vf/adobe/palatino
/usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/urw35vf/palatino
/usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/adobe/palatino
/usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/urw/palatino
/usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/adobe/palatino

but cannot find these in the small distribution. Does anyone know how can I fix this error without using the full distribution of course?

I read the palatino font is part of the core fonts that ship with Latex.

Thanks.

Sid
