Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Installing Minion Pro

[tweeg]

Hi Guys,

i have been using this guide to install Minion Pro http://www.latex-community.org/forum/vi ... =48&t=8415

But for some reason i still get the error saying:

Code: Select all

! LaTeX Error: File `minionpro.sty' not found.

Things im sure went right:

The (converted) font files are in:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8\fonts\type1\adobe\MinionPro

aswel as in:

Code: Select all

C:\Documents and Settings\myname\Application Data\MiKTeX\2.8\fonts\type1\adobe\MinionPro

I have the line:

Code: Select all

Map MinionPro.map

In my Miktex updmap file.

I executed these commands: texhash, initexmf -u, updmap

How come i still cant use the fonts in Latex?

Don't forget to install the minionpro package. All the font related files are useless without that.

Thx for your help. I installed it now. And the font itself seems to work. But now im getting this error when compiling my file:

! pdfTeX error (font expansion): auto expansion is only possible with scalable fonts. \AtBegShi@Output ...ipout \box \AtBeginShipoutBox \fi \fi

Im also getting it when disabling the Minionpro package. Any thoughts?

A qualified answer requires a minimal working example (MWE) that reproduces this error [1]. So please reduce the problem to only relevant code and packages.

Is this minimal enough? (im not at home so cant edit it atm)

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{thesis}
 \begin{document} 
\frontmatter     
\pagenumbering{alph}     
\pagenumbering{roman}     
\clearpage     
\cleardoublepage     
\tableofcontents     
\clearpage   
\listoffigures   
\clearpage   
\listoftables   
\mainmatter        
\part{test}       
\input{test} 
\end{document} 

The thesis class file:

Code: Select all

\ProvidesClass{thesis} 
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}  % Based on the memoir class 
\DeclareOption*{\PassOptionsToClass{\CurrentOption}{memoir}} 
\ProcessOptions \LoadClass{memoir

In my test.tex i have this:

Code: Select all

\chapter{test} \label{chapter:test} test

The example above works. But when i copy the word test 40 times i get the error:

Code: Select all

! pdfTeX error (font expansion): auto expansion is only possible with scalable  fonts. 
\AtBegShi@Output ...ipout \box \AtBeginShipoutBox \fi \fi  

This is basicly the same example as someone on some other board. I tried it yesterday and we get the same error. I hope this example is "minimum" enough.
