Hi,
I just started using XeTeX again after a several-year gap. I
installed MacTeX 2010 and am having issues with fonts not being found
or not usable. I'm pretty sure this all worked in earlier versions
but I made the mistake of removing my old installation before I
checked that it worked...
I'm having issues both with xdv2pdf and xdvipdfmx.
With xdv2pdf (which I had been using exclusively before), I can get my
preferred text font to display but not math fonts. In addition, on my
10.6 machine, I don't get any bullets in lists; this is not a problem
on my 10.5 machine.
I get this output:
(./writeup.aux) [1] [2] [3] (./writeup.aux)exception:
SimplePSInterpreterException reason: condition in if is not a boolean
*** font activation failed (status=0): cmsy10.pfb
*** font cmsy10 (CMSY10: file 'cmsy10.pfb') not found
*** font cmsy10 (cmsy10.pfb) not found, will substitute Helvetica glyphs
)
Output written on writeup.pdf (3 pages).
The only reference to error message I found was here:
<http://www.tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2005-April/002094.html>
but I would have thought that the built-in fonts should be handled? I
am using fontspec and tried with [no-math], [cm-default] (as I'd been
using before); I also tried using \setmathrm to set the math font to
the same as my text font, but it didn't make any difference, I guess
because it's trying to retrieve math symbols. I also tried installing
the native Mac versions of the Latin Modern fonts that came with
MacTeX but that did not help.
I don't really care *what* symbol font gets used, so if there's an
alternative to cmsy10, that's fine too. All I wanted in this case was
a large centered ~ (i.e. $\sim$).
On the other hand, xdvipdfmx seems to be unable to find a font that
xdv2pdf can:
(./writeup.aux) [1] [2] [3] (./writeup.aux)
** ERROR ** Cannot proceed without the "native" font: Goudy-Bold
(Goudy Bold)...
Output file removed.
This is the beginning of my document, if it helps:
%!TEX TS-program = xelatexmk
\documentclass[11pt,letterpaper,oneside]{memoir}
\usepackage{ifxetex}
\ifxetex
\usepackage[cm-default]{fontspec} % also tried [no-math] and nothing
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-fifl]{Goudy}
\setsansfont[Mapping=tex-text,Scale=0.91]{Corbel}
\setmonofont[Scale=0.88]{Consolas}
\else
\fi
If I remove \setmainfont, this works and is completely formatted in
Computer Modern with xdvipdfmx, but at that point I might as well not
be using XeTeX.
Thanks,
