updmap error "Did you run mktexlsr" but I have already run it - TeX

joulev replying to samcarter

None of the folders requires admin right though

samcarter replying to joulev

Just a guess: maybe there was some problem with creating some of the folders and now that you have created them, installing works fine?

joulev

Right now after successfully installed everything manually, when I tried `getnonfreefonts --sys --all --force --debug` again it surprisingly works smoothly and no temp folders are created. Although I can use the fonts now, I still have no idea what was going on :)

samcarter

:) so glad to hear it is working!

joulev

This has really driven me mad :)

Yay! It works! Thank you very much!!

samcarter replying to joulev

Follow the instructions from https://ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/urw/classico The latex folder contains the .sty file. If kpsewhich does not find it, you might have to run texhash

joulev replying to samcarter

Currently I have
```none
$ kpsewhich classico.map
c:/Users/myname/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/classico/classico.map
```
so I presume that I have install `classico` (at least) correctly.

Now I run, with admin right,
```none
$ mktexlsr
<some stuff here>
$ updmap-sys
<some stuff here>
```
I think that is done, right? But still `kpsewhich classico.sty` gives me no output (unlike "normal" packages), and if I use
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{classico}
\begin{document}
Hello, world
\end{document}
```
it says "`classico.sty` not found".

What should I do to have `classico.sty` installed in my `texmf` tree?

samcarter

@JouleV Personally I have them in my texmf folder with the following structure: ![Screen Shot 2019-12-17 at 14.19.22.png](/image?hash=765d0e2f42047d8760516cb68950e60b068566121607db78f3275a8b564d1c6f)

joulev

Alright I think now I should install the fonts manually from the files in the `Temp` directory. But in, say, `/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/type1` I have `local` folder. Should I put all folders in `/path/to/temp/fonts/type1` inside the `local` folder or outside it?

joulev

I think `install: 'C'` is supposed to be `install: '</path/to/TEXMFLOCAL/or/TEXMFHOME>'`. That is probably why it just make a new folder named `C` every time I run `getnonfreefonts --sys`.

joulev

```
This is getnonfreefonts, revision 2017-06-02.

Usage:
    getnonfreefonts --sys|--user [options] [font1] [font2] ...

    getnonfreefonts --sys installs fonts in $TEXMFLOCAL.
    getnonfreefonts --user installs fonts in $TEXMFHOME.

    In nearly all cases you should use getnonfreefonts --sys.
    For special cases see <etc etc>
    Options: <etc etc>
    Directories:
       temporary: '/tmp/getfont-<PID>'
       install:   'C'
```

joulev replying to samcarter

Is there anyway I can change the install directory in `getnonfreefonts --sys`? Executing `getnonfreefonts --sys --help` gives

samcarter

mmmm, then I have no idea why getnonfreefonts puts the map files in a temp folder

joulev replying to samcarter

I think I already have it with TeX Live. I have `c:/texlive/2019/bin/win32/getnonfreefonts.exe` in my PATH.

samcarter

How did you install getnonfreefonts? `texlua install-getnonfreefonts`?

joulev

And directory `C` is created, and nothing is put in there. What's going on?

I have created `~/texmf`. Now after deleting everything related to the said `map` files, when I use `getnonfreefonts --sys` with admin right it simply says this

joulev replying to samcarter

I do have a Linux-like terminal in Windows so `mkdir` is no problem. Maybe I will try that solution. Well, this is really driving me mad :)

samcarter

My suggestions would be to create the folder `C:/Users/myname/texmf`  by doing whatever you do to create folders in windows and reinstall the `getnonfreefonts`  then

samcarter replying to joulev

This might explain why it does not find the maps :)

joulev

Hmm, from [this answer by Enrico](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/186104), I have to `mkdir` the `TEXMFHOME` myself then...

joulev replying to Skillmon

I read the answer, but mysteriously `TEXMFHOME` doesn't even exist in my system, and if there are any main trees in my system, it is in `c:/texlive`.

joulev replying to Skillmon

I don't see anything related to the map files in `TEXMFVAR` (which is `file:///C:/Users/myname/.texlive2019/texmf-var/` in my case)

joulev replying to samcarter

It says `C:/Users/myname/texmf`, which is somehow a non-existent directory.

Skillmon replying to joulev

I'm no Windows user, either, but @cfr advised to delete (actually rename, to keep a backup) the TEXMFVAR folder. Generally everything in Temp should be disposable as far as I know. Have you read the last section of cfr's answer I linked to earlier ("***If you read this too late***")?

samcarter replying to joulev

(Disclaimer: I don't use windows) What strikes me odd is that the location seems to be a temporary folder. What does `kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME` say?

joulev

I am thinking of completely deleting `getfont-1207` and `getfont-1341`. What do you think?

joulev

(and in `C:/Users/myname/AppData/Local/Temp/getfont-1341/C/fonts/map/dvips/vntex/garamondvn.map`)

joulev replying to samcarter

Finally I can find them... It is in `C:/Users/myname/AppData/Local/Temp/getfont-1207/C/fonts/map/dvips/vntex/garamondvn.map`. So I executed `getnonfreefonts` without admin right :( What should be done now? @Skillmon

joulev replying to samcarter

It doesn't seem to exist in `c:/texlive` either. Where can it be?

joulev replying to samcarter

It doesn't appear to exist in my user folder `c:/Users/myname`.

joulev

```Map ua1.map
Map classico.map
Map dayroman.map
Map gandhi.map
Map ugm.map
Map zgm.map
Map ulg.map
Map tli.map
Map ul9.map
Map garamondvn.map
Map classicovn.map
Map webo.map

joulev replying to samcarter

Here it is

samcarter

And can you also show us your `c:/texlive/2019/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg`?

samcarter

Ok. Can you find out where the map files are located on your computer, e.g. by searching for `garamondvn.map`?

joulev replying to samcarter

I don't need them *right now*, but some of them support Vietnamese so maybe I will need them in the future.

joulev replying to Skillmon

I am not sure... probably you are right.

samcarter

@JouleV Do you need the problematic fonts?

Skillmon

This is a wild guess, this *really* isn't my field of expertise: Did you by chance install fonts with `getnonfreefonts` on a user level or run `updmap` on a user level? See https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/255709/why-shouldnt-i-use-getnonfreefonts-to-install-additional-fonts-why-shouldnt-i
