[Tex/LaTex] Fontspec doesn’t find Tex Gyre Pagella Italic

fontsfontspecxetex

I'm using XeLaTeX and when calling

\newfontfamily\headingfont{TeX Gyre Pagella Italic}

I get the message

Requested font "TeX Gyre Pagella Italic" at 11.99997pt -> font not found, using "nullfont" 
! Package fontspec Error: The font "TeX Gyre Pagella Italic" cannot be found.

I can see that Windows 10 lists the font as installed, I have the current versions of packages fontspec, libertine, and I refreshed the font map with the MikTeX Console, but it still seems to not be able to find the font.

Below is MWE:

\documentclass[english,a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{libertine}
\usepackage[bold-style=ISO]{unicode-math}
\newfontfamily\headingfont{TeX Gyre Pagella Italic}
\begin{document}
XX
\end{document}

The Pagella family uses "TeX Gyre Pagella" as family name. The italic shape is called "TeXGyrePagella-Italic". In addition, you are not setting a font family but a single font, so it makes more sense to use \newfontface. Overall, the following works for me using TeXLive 2019 on Debian Linux:

\documentclass[english,a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[bold-style=ISO]{unicode-math}
\newfontface\headingfont{TeXGyrePagella-Italic}
\begin{document}
\headingfont XX
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] How to print a beta in TeX Gyre Termes text mode

A solution that integrates cgnieder's and rdhs's:

\documentclass[letterpaper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage{tgtermes,chemmacros}
\usepackage[artemisia]{textgreek}
\usepackage{newunicodechar}

\ExplSyntaxOn
\cs_new_protected:Npn \IfInIupac #1 #2
  { \bool_if:NTF \l_chemmacros_inside_iupac_bool {#1} {#2} }
\ExplSyntaxOff

\newunicodechar{β}{\IfInIupac{\Chembeta}{\ensuremath{\beta}}}
\newunicodechar{ᴅ}{\IfInIupac{\D}{\textsc{d}}}

\begin{document}

\iupac{isopropyl-1-thio-β-ᴅ-galactopyranoside}

\end{document}

enter image description here

Other equivalences can be defined similarly. If the upright beta is needed also in text, the best way is, in my opinion, not to use it in math at all and change the definition into

\newunicodechar{β}{\Chembeta}

[Tex/LaTex] Using cyrillic with Tex Gyre Pagella and pdflatex

Right, as @egreg and @cfr pointed out, there is no Tex Gyre Pagella in cyrillic; looking a bit further, I found:

latex - Cyrillic in Palatino-like font - Stack Overflow

Your choice may depend on what you mean by Palatino-like and whether and how much you're willing to pay for a commercial font. The open source Linux Libertine font is a serif font that has Cyrillic glyphs, but it's not really Palatino-like

Using cyrillic and palatino together? - comp.text.tex

I now get the whole palatino family (including \em, \sc, etc.) for Roman letters. ... But none of the font attribute commands do anything for Cyrillic text.

... and if that wasn't enough, here is what I get for fontforge /path/to/texlive/2014/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre/texgyrepagella-regular.otf:

... which confirms that the font indeed has some Greek characters, but no Cyrillic ones.

So I was about to drop all this, when I found CTAN: substitutefont, which notes:

Combine font families [...]
Tests/Examples [...]
* Times/Helvetica/Courier (TeX Gyre) with Cyrillic ParaType_ fonts: <cyrillic-paratype.tex>__, <cyrillic-paratype.pdf>__

... and as I read in cyrillic-paratype.tex, seemingly paratype works as a cyrillic substitute for palatino/Tex Gyre Pagella - and it actually looks good enough for me (not exactly the same, but certainly doesn't poke the eyes as much, as when it was Computer Modern cyrillic there):

Here is the MWE that produces that output - I simply load paratype before tgpagella, and after tgpagella is loaded, I use substitutefont to set paratype as the default "roman" when T2A encoding is used:

\listfiles
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1,T2A]{fontenc} % before babel!
\usepackage[ngerman,russian]{babel}
\usepackage{paratype} % tlmgr install paratype
\usepackage{tgpagella}

\usepackage{substitutefont}
\substitutefont{T2A}{\rmdefault}{PTSerif-TLF}

\begin{document}

Добро пожаловать!
