[Tex/LaTex] Default LaTeX font for all commands and definitions

fonts

What is the font that LaTeX uses as default for: the notmal text, the \bfseries, the \itshape etc and all commands and definitions in the table 43 at page 131 of this guide?

I have found some fonts in this directory: C:\texlive\2011\texmf-dist\fonts\opentype\public\lm. I suppose that the default font for math is lmmath-regular.otf, right?

The default font set for TeX is Computer Modern, designed by Knuth specifically for TeX use.

So the 10pt roman font is cmr10, the italic cmti10 bold (extended) cmbx10 etc.

For mathematics the situation is more complicated as there is not a single font, different characters come from different fonts. The main math italic is cmmi10 The main math symbol font is cmsy10 with big brackets etc coming from cmex10.

Did you also execute the command sudo mktexlsr or, equivalently, sudo texhash?

Additional suggestion: Do you maybe have an older version of some TeX installation floating around somewhere on your system? The reason I ask is that the error message mentions /usr/texbin/pdflatex, whereas the executables of MacTeX2011 should be located somewhere under /usr/local/texlive/2011/...

Third and final suggestion :-) Have you specified the T1 font encoding in your TeX program? (I believe the Frutiger fonts from the CTAN only work with T1, and maybe TS1.) If this doesn't work, I give up! Hopefully, others will come up with better suggestions. OK: here's a final suggestion: You should provide a MWE of your problems, so that others can at least try to replicate it.

[Tex/LaTex] TeXLive/PDFTeX fonts loading problem

The font larm1000 is the base font for the cyrillic encoding T2A that you are choosing to be the default for your document, as it is the last appearing in

\usepackage[T1,T2A]{fontenc}

This should be corrected, if the default language is English, as specified by

\usepackage[hebrew,english]{babel}

In order to avoid the problem, install with tlmgr all the packages in collection-langcyrillic, in particular the lh package.
