Texlive and Gregorio Manual Font Installation

Question

Here I am again trying to get Gregorio working. I discovered that the Gregorio installation failed to install its fonts, so I am trying to install them manually.

When I run Gregorio, I get this output:

!LuaTeX error (file greciliae-3): unexpected eof in pk file
 ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

So, I decided to try to "enable" the fonts with this (none of these work, although I've seen all three usages in the documentation):

    updmap-sys --enable map grecilia.map
or
    updmap --enable map grecilia.map
or
    updmap --enable map=gregilia.map

Any of those commands gets me this output:

c:\texlive\gregorio\fonts>updmap-sys --enable map grecilia.map
updmap is using the following updmap.cfg files (in precedence order):
  c:/texlive/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
  c:/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg
updmap is using the following updmap.cfg file for writing changes:
  c:/texlive/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
updmap: invalid mapType map at c:/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/tetex/updmap.pl line 1396.
C:\texlive\bin\win32\runscript.tlu:591: command failed with exit code 2:
perl.exe c:/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/tetex/updmap.pl --enable map grecilia.map

Now, I've placed the font files in their appropriate folders in c:\texlive\texmf-local\fonts\ - including the map files in the subdirectory there at map\dvips\gregoriotex

I've ran texhash to no avail.

When I run updmap I don't see that it scans the directory at c:\texlive\texmf-local\fonts

How can I get it to scan that directory?

What can I do to get past this?

Answer 1

Okay! After a day of hacking and slashing, I figured it out: (a note here - I chose c:\texlive as my root directory. The default is c:\texlive\2012\ - the Windows installer failed both ways, however, so it doesn't matter what directory you install everything into). After texlive was installed, I installed (via the installer) Gregorio into c:\texlive\gregorio\.

Now, the installer for Gregorio comes with a single directory full of the tex fonts, but they have no arrangement, they are all lumped together in a single folder. There is an installation script called install.py but either the installer doesn't use it or for some reason it doesn't work right.

First, you have to copy Gregorio's tex files to their proper place, as the installer fails to do this as well. So, find the directory c:\texlive\gregorio\tex\ and copy it to c:\texlive\tedmf-local\tex\latex\. You can't skip this step.

I created a simple text file named updmap.cfg in c:\texlive\texmf-local\web2c\ and put in it the following code (cyphered from Gregorio's fonts folder install.py):

# $Id: updmap.cfg 26891 2012-06-10 22:41:49Z karl $
# updmap.cfg for TEXMFLOCAL - updmap options.
#Gregoriotex Config
MixedMap greciliae.map
MixedMap gregorio.map
MixedMap parmesan.map

then I ran this command (again, cyphered from install.py):

mktexlsr c:\texlive\texmf-local\fonts
texhash
updmap

One more thing: Find c:\texlive\texmf-local\tex\latex\gregoriotex.tex, (which you should have copied over already) and open it in a text editor. Now find \luatexUseModule and \luaUseModule and replace both instances with \RequireLuaModule. It won't work if you don't do this.

And it works!!!!! I've got chant notes!!! (I hope nobody else has to do it this way!)

[UPDATE]

Gregorio has been updated to version 2.3 as of June 2013, and just about all of these installation issues have been corrected. Here is a link to the download repository: http://download.gna.org/gregorio/releases/

[UPDATE]

Gregorio has been updated to version 2.4.2 as of March 2015, and so again, most of this is obsolete. However, here is a tidbit about adding/updating your own font files.
