I got a new machine and put TeX Live on it, the version you get from tug.org. Now I need to compile a document that uses the emerald font.

I feel like I have tried everything. The font seems to be there, and updmap-sys --listmaps gives me (among other things) Map emerald.map enabled /home/kristian/tex/texmf-local/web2c/updmap.cfg.

However, when I try to compile the document, I get: 

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

If I download emerald.sty and put it in the directory, the file compiles ... but the font is some kind of replacement. In the file, I call emerald simply with: 

\usepackage{emerald}

What gives? And what should I do? As you may have noticed, I have texmf-local in ~/tex/texmf-local, would that make a difference? I previously renamed some folders named .texlive2015 and texmf, they were both in ~/ without me remembering creating them. Would that be a mistake?

I went through this: Installing Emerald fonts: TeXlive won't find font files without luck.

  • This is a very bad phrased question with incomplete and disconnected information snippets. Also: If you know so little about the inner working of a tex system, why do you rename folders and move texmf-local around to non-standard locations? How should anyone not sitting before your computer now find out what you did to your system? – Ulrike Fischer Oct 25 '15 at 15:51
  • I renamed the main directory under installation to get a name that was easier to remember (i.e not hidden) ....

    What kind of info do you want?

  • Minimal example, exact error message, location of all the font related files, output of kpsewhich regarding the files ... – Ulrike Fischer Oct 25 '15 at 17:57
