I have been using latex for some time now with much pleasure. I just
recently discovered xetex, and was quite pleased with the ability to
use additional fonts on my computer. However, when trying to compile
the xetex-sample2e.tex file provided with the xetex distribution, I
get errors saying that it cannot several of the computer modern fonts
needed to display math, e.g.
*** font cmsy7 not found in psfonts.map or host system; will
substitute Helvetica glyphs
*** font cmex10 not found in psfonts.map or host system; will
substitute Helvetica glyphs
I tried running texhash and updmap[-sys] and this did not seem to
help. Sure enough, when looking at my psfonts.map file, there is
nothing about computer modern fonts. I looked at some other
psfonts.map on one of my university's linux servers, and there were
all sorts of computer modern font mappings in the file. I tried
adding some of these to my own file in ~/.texmf-var/fonts/map/dvips/
updmap/psfonts.map such as this
cmr10 CMR10 <cmr10.pfb
cmmi10 CMMI10 <cmmi10.pfb
Then when running xelatex I got the following warnings:
WARNING: Type1 font data returned by OFAStreamPSDownload isn't in the
correct format required by the Adobe Type 1 Font Format specification.
although it seems that the glyphs show up fine in the pdf.
I don't seem to have any such warning using latex > dvips > ps2pdf
I racked my brain and read as many help files, FAQs and forum posts
as possible, but I am still stumped. Your help would be much
appreciated.
