Hi Folks: I upgraded my Linux OS and had to install TexLive2008 all over again. I installed all the custom fonts in otf format to /usr/local/share/fonts. But XeLATeX says that several of my fonts are not recognized. It recognizes other fonts but not this particular font.
The exact error is as follows: kpathsea: Running mktextfm OfficinaSerITC-Book /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Could not map source abbreviation O for OfficinaSerITC-Book. /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Need to update /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/fonts/map/dvips/skak/special.map? mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input OfficinaSerITC-Book This is METAFONT, Version 2.718281 (Web2C 7.5.7) kpathsea: Running mktexmf OfficinaSerITC-Book !
