Referring to Garamondx does not work anymore in MiKTeX ...

I'm a beginner in latex, and I'd like to include this package, because I used it last year and now I can't TT.TT, but I don't understand what are they saying, could someone give me clear instructions? for dummies, please. I'm a windows' 10 user. Thank you a lot.

  • @HenriMenke Is that for MiKTeX too? – Ana May 22 '17 at 21:29
  • No it isn't. Close vote retracted. – Henri Menke May 22 '17 at 21:38
  • Welcome to TeX SX! Did you install garamondx in a local TeXMF tree? – Bernard May 22 '17 at 23:07
  • @Bernard I don't know why garamondx is obsolete now :C On the other hand, I'm a beginner in latex, I use overleaf and there \usepackage[garamond]{mathdesign} worked while garamondx don't, but I wanted to install MiKTeX and Texmaker in my computer, because there's an image restriction in overleaf. Nevertheless, the \usepackage[garamond]{mathdesign} don't work, and appear errors like "citation ... undefined"... The point is, I don't know about installing packages in MiKTeX, even more, fonts packages. – Ana May 23 '17 at 01:36
  • That's not an error. Just a warning. It means you need to run BibTeX or Biber and then recompile twice more. OverLeaf does this automatically, but your editor may not. (Depends on configuration.) – cfr May 23 '17 at 01:52
  • garamondx is not obsolete as a package i.e. not marked as such on CTAN. I don't know how MikTeX decides what to include. (garamondx is not in, and never has been in, TeX Live, so there you need getnonfreefonts-sys.) – cfr May 23 '17 at 01:57
  • When I use \usepackage[garamond]{mathdesign} .Texmaker: !pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file ugmm8a.pfb): cannot open Type 1 font file for reading ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!... With \usepackage[utopia]{mathdesign} PDF appear. – Ana May 23 '17 at 02:01

For Garamondx, it is rather easy, as there exists a ready-to-install .zip file. Here are the details:

  • Go to this page on CTAN and download garamondx.tds.zip.
  • If you have a Local TeXMF directory, unzip the contents of this file in this directory.
  • If you don't, create one, say C:\LocalTeXMF, and validate it as TeX root directory via MiKTeX Settings (Admin), Roots tab, like this (it's my personal configuration, which uses another partition):

enter image description here]1

  • Refresh the FNDB with MiKTeX Settings (Admin), General tab.
  • You need a updmap.cfg file, which is a plain text file, in which you write these lines: #Garamondx Map zgm.map

This file is used to add the Garamondx font files to the database of type1 fonts.

If it does not exist, create it and place it in LocalTeXMF\miktex\config.

  • Last step: to update the databases (psfonts.map and its siblings), run from the command line, as administrator: updmap --verbose (the ‘verbose’ switch is used to display what happens).

That's all: from now on, the font can be used in TeX documents.

Urw-Garamond

For urw-garamond, it is a little more complex, because there is no ready-to-install .zip file. You can downloadgaramond.zip from this page,unzip it in some directory , and copy the different files in the relevant subdirectories in LocalTeXMF, according to the T.D.S. (‘TeX Directory Structure’) and refresh the FNDB.

Finally, add to updmap.cfg the lines

#urw-garamond Map ugm.map

and run updmap from the command line.

You can install getnonfreefonts first (refer to http://www.tug.org/fonts/getnonfreefonts/) and run getnonfreefonts --sys garamond from a command line. Then, include \usepackage[garamond]{mathdesign} in the head of your tex file. I've tried it and it works!
