Others ⇒ BaseTeX with TeXShop

[elim]

I'm looking for a small TeX package for OS X Lion.

I found BaseTeX and TeXShop solution which looks fit my preference since I just don't like 1.8Gb total solutions of MacTeX.

But I got errors for unicode content with BaseTeX, even simply compile the sample file shipped with BaseTeX in its documentation BaseTeX.pdf (see compiling output below).

I installed the fonts needed, but the errors still there. I'm googling around, no solution found. See below for the compiler output.

Code: Select all

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

I installed the fonts needed

Which fonts, and how did you install them? Because there seems to be a metric file missing:

Font EU1/lmr/m/n/10=[lmroman10-regular]:mapping=tex-text at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file or installed font not found.

I found the msg below from web and so installed Latin Modern Roman using font book to the collection Modern. I don't know what else I can do though...

This message tells you that fontspec does not receive the requested font from the Mac OS X font service.

Check with Font Book („Schriftsammlung“) whether the Latin Modern fonts are known to the system. If not, then create a new library in Font Book and then add the fonts! Add don't add the PostScript Type 1 fonts when XeTeX deals with OpenType features! Finally make the library and its fonts active.

Apple once provided its Font Tools suite. It can still be downloaded and used – you just need PowerPC hardware or a Mac OS X in which Rosetta works. No Lion...
