[Tex/LaTex] MiKTeX Update: Error `\textfont is undefined` with Package `url`

errorsfontsmiktexurlsxetex

The following MWE does not compile with XeLaTeX anymore after a MiKTeX update today:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setromanfont[Path=./]{LinLibertine_R.otf}
\usepackage{url}
\urlstyle{rm}

\begin{document}
    Test: \url{http://test-website.com}
\end{document}

You will need the Linux Libertine OTF fonts in order to reproduce the error, but they don't need to be installed. Just place LinLibertine_R.otf in the same folder as your MWE TeX file.

The problem seems to be the hyphen (-) into the URL. The same MWE compiled without problems before the update. So far I could reproduce this issue only with this font.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

The described behavior was caused by a bug in XeTeX, which has been resolved now. After updating MiKTeX, the issue has been gone.

[Tex/LaTex] Conflict between color, graphicx and libertine

These option clashes happen when a package is requested to be loaded on two different positions, like by you and inside another package, but with different options. The package is loaded by the first \usepackage (or its twin \RequirePackage); it isn't loaded again when it is requested again. It simply can't be loaded a second time. Therefore the new options can be activated and previous options might conflict with the second usage. So LaTeX creates an error to report this issue to you.

The way to fix this is to declare the options beforehand using \PassOptionsToPackage{<options>}{<package>}. Then they are used wherever the package is loaded.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ifpdf}
\ifpdf
    \PassOptionsToPackage{pdftex,usenames,dvipsnames}{color}
    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
    \usepackage{libertine} % most likely loads 'color' itself
    %\usepackage{lmodern} % doesn't load 'color'
    \usepackage{color}
    \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\else
    %\bye
\fi
\begin{document}
Hello, world!
\end{document}

I can't test it by myself, because I don't have the libertine package installed.

PS:

I don't think you need to set pdftex manually. Normally packages do a good job recognizing the driver by themselves. Also you might want to use the extended xcolor package instead of color.

[Tex/LaTex] libertine font package doesn’t work anymore (December 2011)

Update your system, then you'll get the old libertine package as libertine-legacy and then it should work as usual. The new package libertineotf supports only xetex and luatex.

With the current TeXLive and MiKTeX as of end of 2012 there is only one package libertine.sty which can be used as

\usepackage[options]{libertine}

Depending on what was run (xelatex/lualatex/pdflatex), it loads by itself the package fontspec or fontenc and does all the configuration.
