I have a problem with the font bitstream-charter.

less dummy.tex

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{scrbook} \usepackage[bitstream-charter]{mathdesign} %my font! % \usepackage[sfdefault]{cabin} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \begin{document} aaaaaa \end{document}

pdfLatex fails to produce a PDF with the following error:

Any idea what the problem might be?

  • all necessary packages are installed!
  • other fonts work nicely (tested \usepackage[sfdefault]{cabin})
  • using Ubuntu 14.04

    There is no reason to ever use the texnansi encoding (and your example code does not use it) do you get that error from the posted code? Commented Aug 13, 2014 at 11:34
  • Welcome to TeX SE! Make sure you test that code specifically to see if you still get the error. As @DavidCarlisle says, there is nothing in your code which would try to use the encoding in the error message so it seems likely that your MWE does not really reproduce the error you are seeing.

  • Thanks for your comments! However, this MWE produces such an error! I posted the entire output below: Commented Aug 13, 2014 at 13:22

  • @DavidCarlisle:Try the code. texnansi.enc is used by pdflatex. Commented Aug 13, 2014 at 20:19

Install the package ly1. I just had the same problem and this package solved it for me. I'm sure a more knowledgeable user will be able to explain why.

    @ChristianHupfer: Actually it is an answer, as texnansi.enc is contained in the ly1 package (at least in TeXlive 2014). Commented Aug 13, 2014 at 20:13
  • @MartinSchröder: Thanks for the information ... Commented Aug 13, 2014 at 20:14
  • Welcome to TeX.SX! You can have a look at our starter guide to familiarize yourself further with our format. Commented Aug 13, 2014 at 20:20
  • LY1 and texnansi refer to the same encoding but no new documents should be using that encoding. Commented Aug 13, 2014 at 20:31

    @DavidCarlisle texnansi.enc is loaded during font embedding in the PDF file, because of the entry md-chr8y CharterBT-Roman " TeXnANSIEncoding ReEncodeFont " <texnansi.enc <bchr8a.pfb in pdftex.map, which is a bit surprising; but apparently the T1 encoded virtual font is defined in terms of an LY1 encoded font.

As well as installing ly1 (in $TEXMFHOME), I had to run updmap with the --force option in order to generate ~/.texlive2012/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map.

texnansi.enc is missing from fonts/enc/dvips/base copy it into there, texhash, and your font generation will work

    It would be nice if you could provide a source where to get it. Or where to find it, if it is part of a TeX distribution. Also, welcome to our site! Commented Oct 16, 2015 at 12:12
