The "upgrade from Fedora 36 to Fedora 38" step above is not necessary, and in fact the systems that exhibit this bug went from 37 to 38. I think I figured it out: the key was that I was upgrading from a system that had old, obsolete RPMs from Fedora 34. Specifically, texlive-updmap-map-svn56618-39.fc34.noarch was still installed, and I think removing that fixed the problem. I also removed texlive-texlive-docindex-svn54903-39.fc34.noarch and texlive-obsolete-2020-35.fc33.noarch, but I think it's the updmap one that fixed the problem. I also did a "dnf reinstall texlive-newpx" but I suspect that was probably equivalent to doing a texhash command to rebuild the ls-R database. I may have inadvertantly blamed the fc34 RPMs above; if I simply do "rm -rf /var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap" followed by "dnf reinstall texlive-newpx", it seems to solve the problem. It does still give me messages like "pdfTeX warning: pdflatex (file /var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map): fontmap entry for `rtxptmri' already exists, duplicates ignored" |
Using the newpxtext package (Palatino typeface) along with \footnote causes PDFTeX to crash without producing a PDF due to a missing font file. The problem is not universal: one Fedora 38 installation I have works fine, two others do not. The following file reproduces the issue if it exists on the machine in question: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{newpxtext} \begin{document} Hello, world!\footnote{this is a footnote} \end{document} Omitting the footnote avoids the problem. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: I am not 100% certain these steps will work; it's my working hypothesis. 1. Upgrade from Fedora 36 directly to Fedora 38 2. Create the file above in a text editor (call it "test.tex", say) 3. run "pdflatex test.tex" Actual Results: Many pdftex warning messages, then !pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file npxsups_t1.enc): cannot open encoding file for re ading ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! Expected Results: I think the problem is that it's looking for npxsups_t1.enc and the file is npxsups_T1.enc I cannot easily test my hypothesis, but I confirmed that a Fedora 36 -> 38 upgrade for a user who has never used pdftex before that it did happen to him (i.e., it's not something in my local configuration). I can avoid the problem entirely by using "xelatex" instead of "pdflatex" to compile the document.
