I apologise that I have a version of this post in another thread (the one on CD). The other one wasn't very well thought out (and I shouldn't have put it under that descriptive title) - I'd be happy for someone to delete that...
I have a TeX template off the net for testing whether Minion Pro is
installed correctly. I'm typesetting to PDFLaTeX (with a TeXLive 2002
Distribution) and getting no text whatsoever in the typeset PDF even
though it is generating one.
What (I take to be) the most significant lines on the error message:
Mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for MinionPro-Regular-If-tbase 1.
pdfTeX warning: \usr\textbin\pdflatex (file
MinionPro-Regular-If-tbase1): Font MinionPro-Regular-If-t-base1 at
545 not found.
I'm thinking that I haven't updated the pdf .map correctly.
Instructions tell me to alter the pdftex.cfg file in the system wide
tree (in a text editing program and not a word processor) by adding
the line:
map +MinionPro.map
(I'm sure I have MinionPro.map installed and labelled correctly in the
local tree).
But when I open the pdftex.cfg file in the system wide tree it tells
me not to edit that file directly - instead to alter
tex/mf/web2c/updmap.cfg and then to run updmap to recreate the file.
It also tells me that I shouldn't move or alter the location of the
pdftex.cfg file.
I can, of course, edit updmap.cfg with Text Editor - but I don't get
an option to save it as a .cfg document.
I'm guessing that I should really alter the document (pdftex.cfg or
updmap.cfg???) in terminal. Only... I wouldn't know what I'd need to
type into terminal in order to do that...
1. I guess I: sudo bash (to login to terminal)
2. Then type something or other: (to alter whichever file I need to alter)
3. Then: texhash
4. Then: updmap
Any thoughts on step 2??
