2

I have Big Sur and am using MacTeX. I'm trying to use the MathTime 2 Lite fonts.

I downloaded the package from CTAN and followed the instructions here, but doesn't work. I also tried the installer but apparently I don't have the neccessary files. (I can't download it from the official downloads page from PCTeX, as the server doesn't respond to my request and I can't access the website.)

What should I do? (And by the way, I can't use other Times math fonts, as I'm fond of MathTime's individually designed large operators.)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install the package from CTAN and place the texmf folder in /Users/[username]/Library/.
  2. Create a .tex file with this code: 
    \documentclass{article}
\usepackage[lite]{mtpro2}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\begin{document}
\[ \sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^n (y^i -x^i )^2 } \quad \text{vs.}\quad \SQRT{\sum_{i=1}^n (y^i -x^i )^2 } \]
\end{document}
  • Thanks! My distribution is TeX Live and I updated it about 6 months ago. My TeX engine is pdfLaTeX. –  Jun 13 '21 at 09:26

    Please try updating your TeX distribution to MacTeX2021 and updating all LaTeX packages (via sudo tlmgr upate --self --all from a command window) before you go any further. Please advise when you've finished that step and whether you've encountered any warning or error messages. – Mico Jun 13 '21 at 09:30
  • I will do that, but just curious, why MacTeX? Is there a difference with TeX Live? –  Jun 13 '21 at 10:00
  • MacTeX is TeXLive plus a few MacOS-specific goodies. – Mico Jun 13 '21 at 10:35
  • What, exactly, did you do that didn't work? – Herb Schulz Jun 13 '21 at 20:30
  • I still got an error message: ! No room for a new \count . \ch@ck ...\else \errmessage {No room for a new #3} \fi l.138 \alloc@0\count\countdef\insc@unt\pointcount@ –  Jun 14 '21 at 07:22
  • that is not an installation error but due to a bug in the style. But imho it shouldn't appear in a current texlive, you will have to make a small complete example that demonstrates the error. – Ulrike Fischer Jun 15 '21 at 07:32
  • What exactly do you mean by a complete example? –  Jun 15 '21 at 07:39
  • something that starts with \documentclass and ends with \end{document} and allows us to test if we can reproduce the error. And you should me ping me with @UlrikeFischer if you want me to see that you answered. – Ulrike Fischer Jun 15 '21 at 09:58
  • @UlrikeFischer Ok, I've added the MWE. –  Jun 15 '21 at 22:55
  • Add also the log file of your example so the we can compare with our log. – Ulrike Fischer Jun 16 '21 at 06:21
  • Wait, nevermind, I'm good. I just forgot to add the two lines \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} in my actual document. Sorry for the confusion. –  Jun 16 '21 at 07:06

Simply adding

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

works.
