Description of problem: tetex does not include lamstex fonts required by certain components of pb-diagram. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tetex-33.2.el5_1.2 How reproducible: Always, unless you dropped the fonts into /usr/share/texmf/fonts manually Steps to Reproduce: 1. Fire up some editor and create a LaTeX document with the line "\usepackage{pb-diagram,lamsarrow,pb-lams}". 2. Compile it. 3. Watch it fail. Actual results: [LaTeX] test.tex => test.dvi (latex) [LaTeX] finished with exit status 1 /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/pb-diagram/lamsarrow.sty:89:Font \lamsfont@i=lams1 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. \font /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/pb-diagram/lamsarrow.sty:90:Font \lamsfont@ii=lams2 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. \font /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/pb-diagram/lamsarrow.sty:91:Font \lamsfont@iii=lams3 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. \font /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/pb-diagram/lamsarrow.sty:92:Font \lamsfont@iv=lams4 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. \font /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/pb-diagram/lamsarrow.sty:93:Font \lamsfont@v=lams5 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. [LaTeX] 5 errors, 0 warnings, 0 badboxes Expected results: [LaTeX] test.tex => test.dvi (latex) [LaTeX] 0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 badboxes [LaTeX] Done! Additional info: \usepackage{pb-diagram,lamsarrow,pb-lams} fails: After some digging and reading, I found that this error is caused because the lamsarrow package in pb-diagram depends on lamstex fonts, which are not included in tetex at all. While pb-diagram itself can run without lamstex (this error is only encountered with the lamsarrow package), these files are required for the lamsarrow package: %{datadir}/texmf/fonts/tfm/lams1.tfm %{datadir}/texmf/fonts/tfm/lams2.tfm %{datadir}/texmf/fonts/tfm/lams3.tfm %{datadir}/texmf/fonts/tfm/lams4.tfm %{datadir}/texmf/fonts/tfm/lams5.tfm %{datadir}/texmf/fonts/mf/lams1.mf %{datadir}/texmf/fonts/mf/lams2.mf %{datadir}/texmf/fonts/mf/lams3.mf %{datadir}/texmf/fonts/mf/lams4.mf %{datadir}/texmf/fonts/mf/lams5.mf These files can all be found in CTAN: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/lamstex/ Can these files be included with the base tetex-fonts package, or should some sort of tetex-lamstex package be made? I will be creating RPMs for work use, so the spec files used there may be helpful and I will post them if they are useful.
Fix to add lamstex fonts to teTeX is now added.
