I'm working with Miktex 2.9 64 Bit on Windows 8 with Texniccenter. Up until yesterday I compiled all my documents without any problems. Today everything seems fine, too, I did not run any Miktex Update overnight (though all packages were up to date the last few days). Texniccenter does not display any errors. But strangely no PDF was produced with pdflatex. Then I looked in the Logfile. At the very end (after the statistics, seems Texniccenter does not expect anything after that for it's own GUI output), there was this:

!pdfTeX error: pdflatex.exe (file LinBiolinumOB-osf-t1--base): Font LinBiolinumOB-osf-t1--base at 657 not found

==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

I commented out out every

\usepackage{libertine}

in my preambles. It works again! But with the wrong font, of course...

What is causing the problems here? I'm using Libertine just as the TUG font catalogue tells me:

\usepackage{libertine}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Sounds like a problem with the map-file. Make a minimal but complete example that demonstrates the problem. Show it together with the complete log-file. Also check for updates (admin mode and user mode if you have a multiuser installation). – Ulrike Fischer Jan 4 at 9:38

your installation of Libertine seems to be corrupt. This example

\listfiles
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{libertine}
\begin{document}
foo
\end{document}

should give this file list (at the end of the log file)

If you do not get it then delete and reinstall the package libertine

The pckage manager did list Libertine indeed as not installed, but Miktex did not attempt to download Libertine on compile-time. However, installing "libertine" in the Package Manager did not solve the problem. Same error, only the line number changed to 1493. – Foo Bar Jan 4 at 9:30
if it was not listed in the package manageras installed then you have it installed before by hand. Then you must be sure that there is no other installed libertine. Look into the log file. There you can see from which directories the files are taken. – Herbert Jan 4 at 9:32
I'm just fully reinstalling Miktex now. Let's see if this works. – Foo Bar Jan 4 at 9:38
I accept this now as the correct answer. Still not sure what caused the problem, but something was corrupt. Reinstalling Miktex solved the problem. – Foo Bar Jan 4 at 11:23
