Text Formatting ⇒ Helvetica font

[dandan]

Hi all,

I use OpenSuSE 10.3 and pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) to compile my TeX documents. I have recently got a LaTeX project to compile with a make file. When I run this make file, I get this error:

IMPORTANT: If you use font encoding, as in \usepackage{T1enc},
please use it BEFORE \usepackage{w-bookps}:
\documentclass{wileySix}
or \documentclass{wileySev}
\usepackage{T1enc}
\usepackage{w-bookps}


kpathsea: Running mktextfm hvb
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Could not map typeface abbreviation vb for hvb.
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Need to update /usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/fontname/special.map?
mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input hvb
This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.6)

kpathsea: Running mktexmf hvb

Transcript written on mfput.log.
grep: hvb.log: No such file or directory

! Font \tocarttitlefont=hvb at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found
.
l.295 \font\tocarttitlefont=\helveticabold at 12pt

It seems that it comes from "helveticabold" font or maybe other issues are involved too. Doesn't it (helvetica bold) install by default? Does anybody know how can I compile this project?

Thanks in advance,

D.

It's better to replace the obsolete t1enc by the fontenc package with the according option.

Code: Select all

%\usepackage{t1enc}        % obsolete
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}   % Enable Cork Encoding

Perhaps you should think about upgrading your Linux distribution. openSUSE 10.3 was delivered with the obsolete teTeX distribution [1]. In November there will be openSUSE 11.2 released with the current TeX Live 2008 (or TL2009). The recent openSUSE 11.1 also contains this LaTeX distribution. The advantage would be to have a repository from the openSUSE Build Service with an up-to-date version of your LaTeX system.
