Description of problem: Using pandoc to convert (at least) txt or markdown files to PDF fails due to the default selected font being unfound. All such conversions to PDF fail therefore. The font in question is cmr10, and should be provided by texlive-cm-super. However even with the package (and font) installed with the following files, the TFM version of the font is not found by pandoc: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/doc/pdftex/samplepdftex/cmr10.103 /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/amsfonts/cm/cmr10.afm /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/amsfonts/cm/cmr10.pfb /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/amsfonts/cm/cmr10.pfm Error printed by pandoc during conversion is: `! Font OT1/cmr/m/n/10=cmr10 at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found . <to be read again> relax l.54 \normalsize pandoc: Error producing PDF` How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install pandoc, texlive-cm-super, and pdflatex (texlive-latex-bin-bin) 2. Create a textfile (.txt) and run `pandoc filename.txt -o output.pdf 3. Observe error Actual results: File conversion fails Expected results: File conversion produces new PDF file with contents from input txt or md file.
Thanks for the report. Is this a pandoc issue?
I'm not sure. Presumably pandoc config determines the default font to use for such conversions, and that font should always be available. In any case, the problem was discovered via usage of pandoc. I do not use, and have not tried pdflatex or texlive directly. I leave the categorisation to someone better informed.

Okay I will try to find time to investigate but if the font is installed it sounds like a regression in the font package to me: I am happy to add requires to the package if that helps though.
Seems this issue is fixed in F27.
Okay, I would still like to understand the issue with F26.
But it sounds like a texlive issue.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
