Hi I’m a Fedora newbie.
When I try to use pdflatex it produce a logfile with 204 warning about font.
This is some example:
pdfTeX warning: pdflatex (file /usr/share/texlive/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/up
dmap/pdftex.map): fontmap entry for `rtxptmbi' already exists, duplicates ignor
ed
pdfTeX warning: pdflatex (file /usr/share/texlive/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/up
dmap/pdftex.map): invalid entry for `rtxptmbo': SlantFont/ExtendFont can be use
d only with embedded Type1 fonts
pdfTeX warning: pdflatex (file /usr/share/texlive/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/up
dmap/pdftex.map): fontmap entry for `rtxptmr' already exists, duplicates ignore
d
pdfTeX warning: pdflatex (file /usr/share/texlive/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/up
dmap/pdftex.map): fontmap entry for `rtxptmri' already exists, duplicates ignor
ed
I searched the web but before making the situation worse I would like to ask for your opinion.
Thanks
I ended up with the same warnings and this took me months to figure out. Its caused by a stale fonts directory, possibly left over from a previous version of Fedora or texlive. It seems similar to the bug report linked above but the problem occurs in a different directory. For me the following fix worked (performed on F37 beta).
Note sure if the second line is totally necessary, but you’ll want to make sure that the fonts subdirectory is gone. The reinstall also seems to clear out fonts.bak after mv’ing it.
