Although I went over here: Texlive 2014 on Ubuntu 14.04: Font WebOMintsGD not found

and here:

Installing missing fonts in Texlive on Ubuntu

I'm unable to use quattrocento in my Ubuntu 14.04 distro. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh, and just in case you were wondering... yes, I'm loading the package with \usepackage{quattrocento}.

  • If you are using Ubuntu's packages, you need to figure out which package includes quattrocento. Unlike WebOMints, quattrocento is part of TeX Live proper so you don't need an extra script to install it - just the relevant bit of TeX Live. If you installed TeX Live from upstream, you should already have it assuming you installed the 'full' scheme. – cfr Dec 19 '14 at 01:14
  • @cfr how can I check that? I'm not good with this Linux thing. More importantly, why it is not getting called when I use the \usepackage if it's supposed to be installed by default? – Mario S. E. Dec 19 '14 at 01:16
  • If you install upstream's version, it is installed by default. If you use Ubuntu's packages, it is in the package Ubuntu decided to put it in. I can't tell you which one as I don't use Ubuntu. Probably you can search packages by keyword or something like that to find it? – cfr Dec 19 '14 at 01:19
  • This is one reason I never use my distro's TeX Live packages... I always install from upstream. That said, for one of the distros I use, it is texlive-fontsextra. Possibly in something somewhat similar on Ubuntu. – cfr Dec 19 '14 at 01:21
  • @cfr can I update them? perhaps some sudo apt-get update something ? – Mario S. E. Dec 19 '14 at 01:25
  • You need to install the right package. Which package that is depends on how Ubuntu split up TeX Live. Every distro does this a bit differently, makes different decisions about how to divide TeX Live up. I think doing this is a bad idea in the first place, which is why I don't recommend using it. But if you want to stick to Ubuntu's packages, that's just the way it is :(. – cfr Dec 19 '14 at 01:28
  • I just realized the Ubuntu Software Center says: "TeXLive: a decent selection of TeX Live packages" – Mario S. E. Dec 19 '14 at 01:29
  • You might consider this. You will also get more current versions of packages this way - sometimes by years. – cfr Dec 19 '14 at 01:35
  • @cfr Seems interesting, I'll give it a try. Thanks! :) – Mario S. E. Dec 19 '14 at 01:36
  • Ubuntu lets you load packages through the Synaptic Package Manager. Open it up, search using the 2 terms latex and font and it is, as cfr indicates, in texlive-fonts-extra. Click on the box to the left of the package and then press "Apply". – DJP Dec 19 '14 at 01:44

I have done a search on my system (Kubuntu 14.04):

   sudo apt-cache search quattrocento
   fonts-quattrocento - classic, elegant, sober and strong Roman typeface
   texlive-fonts-extra - TeX Live: Additional fonts

Please install the package "texlive-fonts-extra" and you should be able to use this font.
