I have been trying to install a font called Frutiger that I have in a zip file myfonts.zip using this guide on TUG site. By the way, I'm on a Mac with MacTeX. The zip file has this tree structure:

myfonts/dvips/psfonts/frutiger.map
myfonts/fonts/amf/frutiger/*.amf files
myfonts/fonts/tmf/frutiger/*.tmf files
myfonts/fonts/type1/frutiger/*.pfb files
myfonts/fonts/vf/frutiger/*.vf files
myfonts/tex/latex/psnfss/*.fd files

I have put the above files into /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/. For example myfont.map is in /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/dvips/psfonts/frutiger.map and so on.

Then I did these steps:

1. Run 'sudo -H mktexlsr' in the console.
2. Run 'sudo -H updmap-sys --enable Map=myfont.map'
3. Run 'sudo -H mktexlsr' again.

In my .tex file I added \usepackage{frutiger}. When I run my .tex file with PDFLaTeX I get this error:

! LaTeX Error: File `frutiger.sty' not found.

I have tried to download and put frutiger.sty in the same folder as my .tex file but the new font is not showing up. I have tried the above steps several times but it does not seem like the font is being installed correctly. Last time I got this output in the console.

1. sudo -H mktexlsr
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2012/../texmf-local/ls-R... 
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf/ls-R... 
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-config/ls-R... 
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/ls-R... 
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-var/ls-R... 
mktexlsr: Done.

2. sudo -H updmap-sys --enable Map=frutiger.map
updmap is using the following updmap.cfg files (in precedence order):
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg
updmap is using the following updmap.cfg file for writing changes:
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg unchanged.  Map files not recreated.

3. sudo -H mktexlsr
mktexlsr: ... Same as in step 1 ....

Do you have any clue on what could be wrong?

EDIT: Here is the content of frutiger.sty:

\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\ProvidesPackage{frutiger}
    [2005/08/08 v1.2 Style file for Linotype Frutiger]
\RequirePackage[T1]{fontenc}
\RequirePackage{textcomp}
\DeclareOption{lining}{\renewcommand*{\rmdefault}{lfrx}}
\DeclareOption{oldstyle}{\renewcommand*{\rmdefault}{lfrj}}
\ExecuteOptions{oldstyle}
\ProcessOptions\relax
%%
%% End of file 'frutiger.sty'

Here is a minimal example of what I'm trying to do.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{frutiger}
\title{\textbf{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit}}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\section{Section I}
\lipsum
\end{document}

Adding \usepackage{frutiger} doesn't change the font more than that bold text becomes normal. I have checked the zip file and it seems to be okay as I can read the files with an editor. Also, I tried to force the map to be recreated using sudo -H updmap-sys --force --enable Map=frutiger.map. AFAIK there is no difference. Adding \fontfamily{pfr}\fontseries{m}\selectfont before any text makes the text look like Frutiger, I don't know if it actually is real Frutiger though. How do I find out?

  • Welcome to TeX.sx! What happens if you have frutiger.sty in the same folder as the document? – egreg Apr 27 '13 at 16:25
  • Frutiger is a sans serif font. If you add \renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault} after \usepackage{frutiger} you'll get it as main text font. – egreg Apr 27 '13 at 17:07
  • frutiger.sty should go in /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/frutiger (remember sudo mktexlsr). Can you add the contents of frutiger.sty? – egreg Apr 27 '13 at 17:32
  • Can you copy the contents of frutiger.sty and paste it into your question? – egreg Apr 27 '13 at 17:52
  • Does Manual font installation help you? – Speravir Apr 27 '13 at 18:07
  • What happens, if you change the location of the map file first, and run the updates afterwards again? New location: /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/map/dvips/frutiger/frutiger.map. And: They should be found in psnfss anyway, but I wonder, why the *.fd files (and, as egreg already wrote, frutiger.sty) are not in /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/frutiger. – Speravir Apr 27 '13 at 18:23
  • Can you add a minimal example of a LaTeX document that shows the problem? If LaTeX doesn't find a requested font it raises an error; or the error is raised at the moment the Type1 font must be used to produce a page. If you get no error and no Frutiger font, then you're not requesting that font to begin with. – egreg Apr 27 '13 at 20:21
  • Is there a force option? See with sudo updmap-sys --help. The ZIP file is not partly defunct? You can read the MAP file and the FD files with a texteditor? Technical remark: For pinging another user address him with @ in the beginning, e.g. @Speravir (cf. commenting help). – Speravir Apr 27 '13 at 20:23
  • I've marked as a dupe of the more general question: if this one still needs to be addressed in more detail, flag and I'll reopen. – Joseph Wright Aug 14 '13 at 20:24
