gutsy: URW Garamond TeX tfm file installs, but font cannot be used

[N7DR]

Binary package hint: context

The context package installs /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/urw/garamond/texnansi-ugmr8a.tfm; however, attempting to use this font produces:

----

Installing context-nonfree didn't help.

Either the tfm file should not be installed, or it should be made usable (either in the context package or in the context-nonfree package, or in some other TeX-related package). It seems that the pfb files, for example (which are necessary to use this font) aren't installed by any gutsy package.

N7DR paste the source please.

This still happens in intrepid :-(

Any old trivial source that tries to use one of the Garamond fonts will fail the same way For example:

----

\font\rm=ugmr8a at 12pt
\rm
\pdfoutput=1

This is a test.

\vfill\eject
\end

----

If one comments out the first line (so that it uses the default rm font) then it works fine.

This issue is almost three years old and it wasn't a bug.

URW Garamond is not included in TeXLive, since its license doesn't allow commercial distribution (http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=3778).

There is a command that solves this: "getnonfreefonts-sys -a" (or "getnonfreefonts -a" if you don't want system-wide modifications).

The issue should be closed (I have tagged it as invalid), but TeXLive should enable a way to display this info when a the users tries to deploy one of these fonts.

I hope it helps,

Pablo

According to my previous comment, there is a command that installs the font.

I'm closing the ConTeXt bug, since it is also invalid.
