Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Bickham font package installation: no such file or directory

[fgyamauti]

Hi,

I'm having some issues regarding the installation of the package Bickham (https://www.ctan.org/pkg/bickham). I'm using the MacTeX-2016 distribution.

I also posted this question on tex.stackexchange (http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... stallation).

First of all, the installation of this font require (according to the package documentation, http://repositorios.cpai.unb.br/ctan/fo ... am-doc.pdf) the generation of pbf fonts by the commands:

cfftot1 BickhamScriptPro-Regular.otf -o BickhamScriptPro-Regular.pfb
cfftot1 BickhamScriptPro-Bold.otf -o BickhamScriptPro-Bold.pfb
cfftot1 BickhamScriptPro-Semibold.otf -o BickhamScriptPro-Semibold.pfb

However it gives me as output "No such file or directory".

Now, the second step is to make the usual installation procedure (as in http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... p-on-a-mac) . However the command:

sudo updmap-sys --enable Map=bickham.map

doesn't create any .map files. Maybe the second step depends on the first, which I could never conclude and this would explain the incorrect output.

Maybe a related question is http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... ng-bickham , however it just confused me more as the author of the answer have already warned in the beginning.

Thanks in advance.

Wrong.
The first thing you need is to acquire the actual font (those .otf files), see

Nothing in this package is functional unless you acquire Bickham Script Pro-Regular, and, optionally, Bickham Script Pro-Semibold and Bickham Script Pro-Bold, and install them according to the documentation for this package.

Did you do that?

Thanks for your reply.

I wasn't aware that .otf files where not included in the package.

I have, now, downloaded these .otf files. However I still get the same error : "No such file or directory"

I don't know in which folder I should put the .otf files in order to the the cfftot1 find them. I tried also putting these files inside Library/TeX/texbin/ and I've got the same error.

Regarding what I called the second step. After putting the bickham folder (the decompressed .zip file downloaded from CTAN) inside /usr/loca/texlive/texmf-local/, applying

sudo texhash

and

sudo updmap-sys --enable Map=bickham.map

, I've got:

updmap [WARNING]: resetting $HOME value (was /Users/fgyamauti) to root's actual home (/var/root).
updmap will read the following updmap.cfg files (in precedence order):
/usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
/usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg
updmap may write changes to the following updmap.cfg file:
/usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
/usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg unchanged. Map files not recreated.
updmap: Updating ls-R files.

, which seems the incorrect output. However, as I understand, the second step shouldn't depend on the first (the .pbf files). So apparently there's something wrong.

[rais]

I don't know in which folder I should put the .otf files in order to the the cfftot1 find them.

cfftot1 looks in the current directory, AFAICS.
Say, your .otf files reside in /foo/bar/baz, but you're in /home/fgyamauti/blubb. Either copy those .otf files into /home/fgyamauti/blubb or change directory by using `cd /foo/bar/baz' prior attempting to run cfftot1.

Regarding what I called the second step.

Why go further at this stage? If I learned anything from working with LateX, it's to stop at the first error and (try to) fix it. Besides,

updmap [WARNING]: resetting $HOME value (was /Users/fgyamauti) to root's actual home (/var/root).
updmap will read the following updmap.cfg files (in precedence order):
/usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
/usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg
updmap may write changes to the following updmap.cfg file:
/usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
/usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg unchanged. Map files not recreated.
updmap: Updating ls-R files.

may be the proper output: `unchanged. Map files not recreated.' may be the result because of your previous attempt to enable the same map file.

Thanks for the reply, I didn't know that the cfftot1 search inside the home folder. I could produce the .pbf files and I have renamed then according to the Berry scheme. After this I created the folders 'adobe' and 'bickham' and I have put everything inside /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/type1/adobe/bickham .

Now, regarding the second step (the regular installation process that I described in my first reply), I could not produce any .map files again. I keep receiving the same output as I've already posted. You said that that `unchanged. Map files not recreated.' may be the correct output, however I could not use the bickham package. More precisely by running pdfLaTeX, I get the error "File 'bickham.sty' not found.".

Just to avoid trivial misunderstandings. When I download the package from CTAN, I get a folder and not a .zip file. I have put this folder (called "bickham") inside /urs/local/texlive/texmf-local/ and not the folders contained in 'bickham' itself. Is this the correct process?

Now, regarding the comment

may be the proper output: `unchanged. Map files not recreated.' may be the result because of your previous attempt to enable the same map file.

. Whenever I tried the process of installation, I always deleted the 'Is-R file' before and run 'sudo texhash' again (to produce another 'Is-R' file). I don't know if this changes anything, though.

[fgyamauti]

Also to complement my last reply. I tried the full manual process of installation (instead of just adding a folder 'bickham' inside texmf-local as I've done before) as in http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... stallation . In this process, I made two tentatives: one including the .otf files (that are not inside the package downloaded from CTAN) and other not including them. Both resulted in the same output (the one I have already written in first reply) after trying to produce the .map file.

I also tried compiling a .tex document using the bickham package which resulted in a different error (probably because of the .map file):

[rais]

I didn't know that the cfftot1 search inside the home folder.

only if you're currently in your home folder. Current directory isn't necessarily equal to $HOME...

I could produce the .pbf files

better call them .pfb files, not .pbf

and I have renamed then according to the Berry scheme.

Renamed? Not copied?

After this I created the folders 'adobe' and 'bickham' and I have put everything inside /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/type1/adobe/bickham .

I don't know if it's handled the same way on a MAC, but I'd just say (from $TEXMFLOCAL)
mkdir -p fonts/type1/adobe/bickham

Now, regarding the second step (the regular installation process that I described in my first reply), I could not produce any .map files again.

Well, updmap-sys doesn't usually produce any new .map files, it's modifying existing ones.

I keep receiving the same output as I've already posted. You said that that `unchanged. Map files not recreated.' may be the correct output, however I could not use the bickham package.

Uhm, you could try to have a look into updmap's map file:

Code: Select all

grep bickham /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map

If that produces any output, trying to enable the same map file again will give you the result described above.

Just to avoid trivial misunderstandings. When I download the package from CTAN, I get a folder and not a .zip file.

I don't understand. The bickham package is available as `bickham.tds.zip' from the first link you've given us to CTAN in the first post. If that's the package you downloaded, mayhap MAC does something for you here and decompresses it on the fly or something...

I have put this folder (called "bickham") inside /urs/local/texlive/texmf-local/ and not the folders contained in 'bickham' itself. Is this the correct process?

No, you need to keep everything TDS-compliant (.sty in ./tex/latex/<packagename>/, .afm in ./fonts/afm/[vendor/]<packagename>/ and so on and so forth)

Now, regarding the comment

may be the proper output: `unchanged. Map files not recreated.' may be the result because of your previous attempt to enable the same map file.

. Whenever I tried the process of installation, I always deleted the 'Is-R file' before and run 'sudo texhash' again (to produce another 'Is-R' file). I don't know if this changes anything, though.

It doesn't for those map files. You could try

Code: Select all

sudo updmap-sys --disable bickham.map

prior to (re)enabling it by

Code: Select all

sudo updmap-sys --enable Map=bickham.map

Perhaps it would be easier to just drop the .otf files in your .fonts folder, run fc-cache on it, and use xelatex or possibly lualatex from now on, instead of pdflatex.
However, should none of the above gives you a hint where you may have erred, here's what I did for testing bickham, I:

• downloaded a free version of the bickham font---just the regular type---from fontzone
• converted the .otf file to .pfb file with

  Code: Select all

  cfftot1 BickhamScriptPro-Regular.otf -o BickhamScriptPro-Regular.pfb

• downloaded the bickham.tds.zip package
• changed working/current directory to $TEXMFLOCAL by

  Code: Select all

  cd `kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFLOCAL`

  (this may not work if $TEXMFLOCAL contains more than one directory, but it looks like you've found it, already)
• created a sub-folder fonts/type1/adobe/bickham by

  Code: Select all

  mkdir -p fonts/type1/adobe/bickham

• copied the BickhamScriptPro-Bold.pfb file into this newly created folder
• created a symlink called `pbqrw8a.pfb' in it, pointing to `BickhamScriptPro-Regular.pfb' in the same folder to satisfy anything using the Berry-scheme, so $TEXMFLOCAL/fonts/type1/adobe/bickham contains two files in my case: BickhamScriptPro-Regular.pfb and pbqrw8a.pfb, linked to the first
• (back in $TEXMFLOCAL) unpacked the bickham.tds.zip file

  Code: Select all

  unzip ~/Downloads/bickham.tds.zip

• updated the database

  Code: Select all

  texhash

• ran

  Code: Select all

  updmap-sys --enable Map=bickham.map

• and---finally---tried the outcome. To that end, I used a slightly modified version of cfr's answer, namely

  Code: Select all

  \documentclass{article}
  \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
  \usepackage{bickham}
  \begin{document}
      abc $\mathcal{abc}$ abc
  \end{document}

What can I say? Worked like a charm

First of all, thanks for your patience. I was trying to avoid long replies, however since I think I may not be communicating properly, I will write everything with more details even if the text get longer.

better call them .pfb files, not .pbf

Whoops! I mistyped it.

Renamed? Not copied?

Let me restrict only to the file 'BickhamScriptPro-Regular.pfb' for now on (there are also another two .pfb files). I made a copy of this file using the name 'pbqrw8a.pfb' as described in http://repositorios.cpai.unb.br/ctan/fo ... am-doc.pdf . After this, I've put it inside

Code: Select all

/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/type1/adobe/bickham

.

Well, updmap-sys doesn't usually produce any new .map files, it's modifying existing ones.

Sorry. No .map files were modified.

Uhm, you could try to have a look into updmap's map file:

Code: Select all

grep bickham /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map

If that produces any output, trying to enable the same map file again will give you the result described above.

I tried this, however I've got no output.

don't understand. The bickham package is available as `bickham.tds.zip' from the first link you've given us to CTAN in the first post. If that's the package you downloaded, mayhap MAC does something for you here and decompresses it on the fly or something...

Yes, indeed, the MAC always decompress the file giving a folder called 'bickham' with subfolders 'fonts', 'tex' and 'doc'. However I've already installed everything manually as in http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... stallation . I should mention too that inside the folder fonts , i.e., in 'usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts' , there are folders containing a subfolder called 'local'. For instance, the folder 'tfm' have a subfolder called 'local', however I have placed everything following the above cited answer (in tex.exchange) avoiding this folder 'local'. I don't know if this makes any difference, though.

I also placed the .otf files, 'pbqrw8a.otf' for instance, inside /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/opentype/bickham/.

Furthermore, the file bickham was placed in /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/map/dvips/bickham/. The 'dvips' folder is the unique one inside 'map'. Maybe this (the 'dvips') is not the correct engine (?).

It doesn't for those map files. You could try...

Ok, I tried disabling and I've got (after 'mktexlsr' or 'sudo texhash', I tried both)

Perhaps it would be easier to just drop the .otf files in your .fonts folder, run fc-cache on it, and use xelatex or possibly lualatex from now on, instead of pdflatex.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with xelatex or latex. I have already heard about the benefits, but I'm not sure if the syntax is too different from what the pdflatex reads. And also I have a lot of packages being used and, therefore, I'm afraid of changing at least for now.

and---finally---tried the outcome. To that end, I used a slightly modified version of cfr's answer, namely...

`it'? You mean just the copy? I've put both files (BickhamScriptPro-Regular.pfb and pbqrw8a.pfb) there.

Sorry. No .map files were modified.

Sorry, my bad. It just sounded like you expected some .map file to appear in the directory you were in. Come to think of it, the console output from updmap-sys itself calls it creating/generating.

Furthermore, the file bickham was placed in /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/map/dvips/bickham/. The 'dvips' folder is the unique one inside 'map'. Maybe this (the 'dvips') is not the correct engine (?).

That's the only place in .../fonts/map I have the bickham.map file, too.

What, you get a message from updmap-sys that vicentino.map couldn't be found, yet the font is working properly? That sounds hard to believe...

No, but you could try to modify /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg directly: delete all lines with offending entries (where updmap-sys was complaining about) and add
Map bickham.map
to it, if not already present. Then run (sudo) updmap-sys without further parameters.

updmap: Updating ls-R files.

(or similar), there's a good chance your bickham font works from now on.

Thank you! Now it's working

If you're interested in the problem by itself, let me just describe what happened.

I cleaned everything with

Code: Select all

updmap-sys --syncwithtrees

, however updmap wasn't enabling 'bickham.map'. More precisely, 'updmap' was complaining in line 1547:

Code: Select all

updmap will read the following updmap.cfg files (in precedence order):
  /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
  /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg
updmap may write changes to the following updmap.cfg file:
  /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
updmap: can't write to /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg: Permission denied at /Library/TeX/texbin/updmap line 1547.

Then I tried

Code: Select all

sudo updmap-sys

which gave me a long output:

Code: Select all

updmap: Updating ls-R files.

Then, mysteriously, after this, I could enable 'bickham.map'.

Indeed, as you have said in

`it'? You mean just the copy? I've put both files (BickhamScriptPro-Regular.pfb and pbqrw8a.pfb) there.

,

I have only put the file 'pqrw8a.pfb', which lead to pdflatex not being able to read the .tex file. However after dropping the file 'BickhamScriptPro-Regular.pfb' (and other two) in the same folder as the former one, everything started working properly.

I'm not sure if the .otf files are needed ('BickhamScriptPro-Regular.otf', for instance, inside /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/opentype/bickham ) since removing them is not changing the output after running pdflatex.

About the other fonts ('newfont.map' and 'vicentino.map'), they were working properly because they don't use a .map file. I tried recreating the .map in these cases by mistake.

Thanks for your patience until now. I've learnt a lot in this process
