I am using Pop!_os 18.04 LTS (which is based on Ubuntu 18.04) and I am trying to get program to run which makes heavy use of LaTeX. I am using the MiKTeX package manager to install the TeX packages that the program requires. I am stuck on trying to get this package dsfont to install. According to this answer, installing texlive-fonts-extra should have fixed it. I tried using sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra and it installs correctly but the error still stands.

The same thread also explains how dstroke is the distribution package name in MiKTeX for dsfont. However, I cannot find a package named dstroke in MiKTeX. The search returns an empty list. The had suggested that a package named doublestroke was being used in TeX live for getting dstroke. So I tried searching for that in MiKTeX just in case and I was able to find it and install it. But that also did not fix the error. I cannot find any other pointer to installing this. Please help.

  • The package dsfont.sty is available as doublestroke in both MikTeX and TeX live (see https://ctan.org/pkg/doublestroke). Did you try installing that package via the MikTeX Console? You may want to remove texlive-fonts-extra and other packages that sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra may have installed, since this probably installed another (possibly outdated) TeX live from the Ubuntu repositories on your system. – moewe Jul 21 '19 at 15:41

As a MiKTeX package it is known as doublestroke. Furthermore, it may happen that you have to launch updmap to refresh the type 1 fonts database:

It is recommended that do not install TeXLive from Ubuntu repository. Get latest TexLive 2019 from CTAN repository and install it. First remove previous installed packages and MikTex.

‫sudo apt-get remove texlive-*

Go to the folder which you downloaded, and run the following command:

sudo perl install-tl --gui=perltk

    The OP has already installed MikTeX for Linux. Installing another TeX system (vanilla TeX live) might cause more confusion than it does good. – moewe Jul 21 '19 at 15:27
  • @moewe Yes, you are right. But it could cause more problems later. It is better to remove all texlive compiler and install complete CTAN Texlive. – A Diyanat Jul 21 '19 at 15:35

    I agree that removing the TeX live that was (inadvertently) installed by sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra is probably a good idea, but I don't necessarily agree that the OP should install vanilla TeX live when they already have access to a reasonably up-to-date (and updatable!) MikTeX. The solution here would probably involved installing the package in MikTeX rather than demolishing everything and switching the TeX distribution. – moewe Jul 21 '19 at 15:38
  • But I think that the problem has raised is that the ANANDA tex editor uses MikTeX compiler, not the compiler which installed using 'sudo apt'. So installing texlive-fonts-extra does not help. As you suggested one way is to install some necessary packages using MikTeX package manager. – A Diyanat Jul 21 '19 at 15:53

    As I wrote in my comment above I agree with that part of the analysis. But I disagree that the best course of action given the status quo is to remove MikTeX and install vanilla TeX live. Installing the correct package in MikTeX should be enough. – moewe Jul 21 '19 at 15:55
