What I did...
First try. The readme-file of uarial says actually, it should be installed in
<texmf>/fonts/type1/...
I downloaded the TDS directory, uncompressed somewhere, and then tried to copy to carpets where the files should likely to be placed: e.g.
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/
but also/usr/share/texmf/
At that time, when I typed kpsewhich uarial.sty
that file was in /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/
. I compiled the code bellow, and I got no arial.
Second try. Then I installed the via "getnonfreefonts", and it says I have Arial istalled (not sure if it's the same as uarial
though).
Installation directory: /home/<myself>/texmf
----------------------------------------
arial-urw Arial (URW) [installed]
[...] [installed]
webomints Webomints (Galapagos Design Group) [installed]
At that time kpsewhich uarial.sty
said the file was located in /home/<myself>/texmf/tex/latex/ua1/uarial.sty
. I compiled the code bellow, and I got no arial.
Third attempt. I installed as here says, according to comments below. In short,
I located the tree with kpsewhich --var-value=TEXMFLOCAL
(mine was /usr/local/share/texmf/
, which surprisingly, it only had a doc/
carpet) and unpacked there the content of the arial.tds.zip
. I compiled the code bellow, and I got no arial.
I'm in Ubuntu 13.10 and installed the full latex package, if that says somehting.
Status now.
Question:
My actual problem is that I want to use arial. So I tried to install uarial
by some methods described below. I compile (with PDFLaTeX) following code, it renders no warning, no error whatsoever; but also no arial whatsoever.
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[scaled]{uarial}
\begin{document}
Text here, which should be in arial, but isn't.
\end{document}
How to revert following errors and do the right installation?
(If it helps to bound the problem, slightly changing the code into
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{uarial}
\renewcommand\familydefault{\sfdefault}
\begin{document}
foo \textbf{bar}
\end{document}
which should work, as it comes from this answer, for me doesn't work.)
