[Tex/LaTex] Garamond font usage

garamond

I found the code below to be used for an academic CV (I took it from Chiu Yu Ko website: https://sites.google.com/site/kochiuyu/latex-1#TOC-Using-Latex-for-CV).

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{enumitem}

% Fonts
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[urw-garamond]{mathdesign}

% Set your name here
\def\name{Your Name}
\def\email{Your Email}
\def\phone{Telephone}
\def\fax{FAX}
\def\website{Website}


% The following metadata will show up in the PDF properties
\hypersetup{
  colorlinks = true,
  urlcolor = black,
  pdfauthor = {\name},
  pdfkeywords = {economics, industrial organization,
    applied game theory},
  pdftitle = {\name: Curriculum Vitae},
  pdfsubject = {Curriculum Vitae},
  pdfpagemode = UseNone
}

\geometry{
  body={6.8in, 9in},
  left=0.8in,
  top=1.0in
}

% Customize page headers
\pagestyle{myheadings}
\markright{\name}
\thispagestyle{empty}

% Custom section fonts
\usepackage{sectsty}
\sectionfont{\rmfamily\mdseries\Large}
\subsectionfont{\rmfamily\mdseries\itshape\large}

% Other possible font commands include:
% \ttfamily for teletype,
% \sffamily for sans serif,
% \bfseries for bold,
% \scshape for small caps,
% \normalsize, \large, \Large, \LARGE sizes.

% Don't indent paragraphs.
\setlength\parindent{0em}

% Make lists without bullets and compact spacing
\renewenvironment{itemize}{
  \begin{list}{}{
    \setlength{\leftmargin}{1.5em}
    \setlength{\itemsep}{0.25em}
    \setlength{\parskip}{0pt}
    \setlength{\parsep}{0.25em}
  }
}{
  \end{list}
}
\setlist[enumerate]{itemsep=0.25em}

The tex file does not compile when 

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[urw-garamond]{mathdesign}

are left in the code. It seems that garamond font is not supported. I am using Texworks 0.4.6. If I compile the file without the two lines above, it works. If I include them I get:

Sorry, but "C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\texify.exe"
did not succeed.

The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going
again:

C:/Users/dario/AppData/Local/MiKTeX/2.9/miktex/log/texify.log

You may want to visit the MiKTeX project page, if you need help.

Does someone know why this happens? Thanks in advance.

Best Answer

Most probably your question is fairly unrelated to any complicated topic. It's most likely that you just do not have URW Garamond on your PC and subsequently math-design can't find it. Try it with \usepackage{mathdesign} instead of your line of code. If that's fine then it was just a mistake including the package.

But as I have already done, I would advice you to read a beginner guide for LaTeX and especially the sections about debugging. That will help you as well as us.
