[Tex/LaTex] How to install font T1 from ecrm1200 using Tex Live Manager (tlmgr)

fontsmactexlive

I'm using TexLive on OSX and having trouble compiling my TeX file with the error:

! I can't find file `ecrm1200'.

…

fontenc.sty:100: Font T1
/cmr/m/n/12=ecrm1200 at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found

which suggests I'm missing a ecrm1200.tfm file from somewhere.

However, searching for the file using the Tex Live Package Manager (tlmgr) like so

tlmgr search --file ecrm1200.tfm

does not produce any packages with this file in. What should I do?

Best Answer

The tlmgr package is ec; however it's better to install the whole

collection-fontsrecommended

collection. Use TeX Live Utility, rather than the command line.

Better yet, install the full MacTeX and update frequently.

I'm feeling really stupid at the moment, but here's the answer: The instruction to download the installer and then to run

texlua install-getnonfreefonts

means that the getnonfreefonts script will be installed. To install the fonts themselves, one must then follow these instructions and run (in the case of Luximono into the TEXMFLOCAL tree)

getnonfreefonts-sys luximono

and everthing will be fine (except one's self-perception as a LaTeX power user).

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.
