I installed the mathgifg package according to this guide:

How to install mathgifg package as well as the mathgifg documentation.

For typesetting I am using the MacTex 2013 distribution and pdftex. Now I am testing the installation with a basic version of the mathgifg sample file since I am only interested in using Franklin Gothic Fonts in my documents:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum,url}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{mathgifg,amsfonts,amsmath}
\usepackage{ifpdf}
\ifpdf
     \pdfmapfile{+mathgifg.map}
\fi

\newcounter{lipsumnum}
\setcounter{lipsumnum}{1}

\newcommand{\samplefont}[2]{{#1\selectfont #2: 
0123456789, \$20, \texteuro30, \pounds60.
Na\"ive \AE sop's \OE uvres in fran\c cais were my first reading.
\lipsum[\value{lipsumnum}]\stepcounter{lipsumnum}\par}}

\begin{document}

\section{Text Tests}
\label{sec:text}

%\samplefont{\sffamily\fontseries{k}}{Franklin Gothic Book}
\samplefont{\sffamily\fontseries{k}\itshape}{Franklin Gothic Book Italic}

\end{document}

As you can see I am testing the Franklin Gothic Book and the corresponding italic fonts, commenting out the not used option. When I use the Franklin Gothic Book option I get the following error:

!pdfTeX error: /usr/local/texlive/2013/bin/x86_64-darwin/pdflatex (file georgia.pfb): cannot open Type 1 font file for reading
==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

I do not know why pdftex wants to use georgia.pfb for this. When I use the Italic option I get the following error:

!pdfTeX error: /usr/local/texlive/2013/bin/x86_64-darwin/pdflatex (file frabkit.pfb): cannot open Type 1 font file for reading
 ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

The frabkit.pbf is definitely available in /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/type1/itc/franklingothic

During installation of the mathgifg package I had some issues with the correct folders. The texmf-local folder did not exist in /usr/local/texlive, so I created it according to the guide. However, I am not sure if this is the correct way, since the texlive folder does also contain the various MacTex distributions in folders corresponding to the version (2012, 2013, 2014) and I am also not sure if the mathgifg package does require all Georgia and Franklin Gothic Fonts to work (I just installed two).

Any advice is very welcome.

UPDATE: I deleted the lines

\ifpdf
  \pdfmapfile{+mathgifg.map}
\fi

according to the comments. The error now is:

!pdfTeX error: /usr/local/texlive/2013/bin/x86_64-darwin/pdflatex (file xifgki8r): Font xifgki8r at 600 not found

I am using Texpad 1.7.9 for editing and typesetting.

  • You can find out the location of texmflocal with kpsewhich -expand-var=$TEXMFLOCAL in a terminal. – Ulrike Fischer May 04 '15 at 15:02
  • That's the right place. If you followed the instructions Joseph Wright posted, you don't need the \pdfmapfile line, and if you've converted the fonts, it doesn't matter whether you're using pdfTeX or not. What does kpsewhich frabkit.pfb give? – cfr May 04 '15 at 15:03
  • @cfr kpsewhich frabkit.pfb returns nothing. kpsewhich -expand-var=$TEXMFLOCALreturns an empty line. – fr3d-5 May 04 '15 at 15:28
  • That command returns an empty line for me, too, so I think that's expected. I think probably @UlrikeFischer meant to suggest kpsewhich -var=TEXMFLOCAL. The fact that the kpsewhich command returns nothing means that the fonts maybe in the right place but are not installed correctly. Did you run mktexlsr? You probably need to do this as root (e.g. with sudo). – cfr May 04 '15 at 16:29
  • @cfr Ok, that one returned /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local, which is exactly the folder where I put the data according to the guide. I also did run mktexlsr which updated several folders. However, the same errors occur. It now seems that it's always complaining about the georgia.pfb, although I am using the FG fonts. – fr3d-5 May 04 '15 at 17:02
  • Well for me (on windows) kpsewhich --expand-var=$TEXMFLOCAL works. Are you sure that you have the .pfb? – Ulrike Fischer May 04 '15 at 17:09
  • @Ulrike Fischer I have the frank.pfb and framd.pfb in the folder mentioned in the question. Does the package need all fonts that it supports for to work? If yes, could I compensate with just copy pasting a standard font and renaming it to the missing fonts? I am just interested in the Franklin Gothic fonts. – fr3d-5 May 04 '15 at 17:15
  • Well your document seems to look for frabkit.pfb (and frabk.pfb if you uncomment the line). So you need these files -- or you must adapt the map-file (and hope that the metrics of your pfb are suitable). – Ulrike Fischer May 04 '15 at 17:23
  • @Ulrike Fischer Sorry, auto correction typo. frabk.pbfand framd.pbfare there. I also duplicated the frabk.pbf and renamed it to frabkit.pbfjust for testing. That did't work either. – fr3d-5 May 04 '15 at 17:26

    The style sets \rmfamily to georgia and so e.g. the page number and your section request it. Remove the sty and try simply {\fontfamily{xifg}\fontseries{k}\selectfont abc} – Ulrike Fischer May 04 '15 at 17:30
  • @UlrikeFischer On Linux, kpsewhich --expand-var=$TEXMFLOCAL returns nothing. – cfr May 04 '15 at 17:39
