Getting the following error when compiling a .tex file from a collaborator who is probably using another OS:

Process started: pdflatex.exe -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode "main".tex

Sorry, but miktex-makemf did not succeed for the following reason: The t1xbtt source file could not be found. The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again: C:/Users/braz/AppData/Local/MiKTeX/2.9/miktex/log/miktex-makemf.log You may want to visit the MiKTeX project page, if

you need help.

Sorry, but miktex-makepk did not succeed for the following reason: PK font t1xbtt could not be created. The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again: C:/Users/braz/AppData/Local/MiKTeX/2.9/miktex/log/miktex-makepk.log You may want to visit the MiKTeX project page, if you need help.

Process exited with error(s)

I looked at the miktex-makemf.log and it says:

I have no idea how to go from here, and web searches did not seem to help. Any suggestions?

    Run from the command line updmap --admin. The messages mean that these type1 fonts are not found, and MiKTeX tries to make bitmap fonts instead. – Bernard Dec 20 '17 at 18:33
  • That did it, thanks! You should write an answer so I can choose it. Anyway, how is a user supposed to know that?... – user118967 Dec 20 '17 at 19:11

    Well… asking on this site. It happens from time to time with MiKTeX. I agree it's not so easy for a beginner to know type 1 fonts are found through a few databases called dvips.map, pdftex.map,…, which have to be updated each time a new font is installed. If you're interested in how it works, you can look the Philip Lehmann's The Fonts Installation Guide. – Bernard Dec 20 '17 at 19:26
  • @Bernard Do you want to answer or is there a duplicate we can mark this as? I imagine there must be by now - if not, somebody should write one. – cfr Dec 27 '17 at 01:45
  • Which OS are you using? Not Windows? Possibly, updating with elevated rights could already solve that problem. – Cadoiz Aug 18 '20 at 01:56

Try adding these two lines to the preamble:

\usepackage{sansmathaccent}
\pdfmapfile{+sansmathaccent.map}

  • Why? Can you elaborate? – Werner Jan 31 '18 at 22:56
  • This is an old mystery. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/55847/problem-with-sansmathaccent-under-pdftex – Farshid Feb 02 '18 at 00:10
  • So is this a duplicate question then? – Werner Feb 02 '18 at 00:15
  • This is an old mystery. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/55847/problem-with-sansmathaccent-under-pdftex and https://sourceforge.net/p/miktex/discussion/33790/thread/af9a3a41/ and https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/133781/font-display-error-in-windows. The best explanation of have seen is that it is due to a confusion in a multi user installation explained here https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/22453/new-map-file-with-miktex – Farshid Feb 02 '18 at 00:18

According to Bernard,

Run from the command line updmap --admin. The messages mean that these type1 fonts are not found, and MiKTeX tries to make bitmap fonts instead.
