Problem with the installation of libertinust1math package

Question

I would like to use the Linux Libertine Font for my document; as suggested here I have inserted this 3 code lines in the preamble of the input file

\usepackage{libertine}
\usepackage{libertinust1math}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Compiling the code I obtained this error massage

File `libertinust1math.sty' not found.

I downloaded the package from here and put the folder in

C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\tex\latex\libertinust1math

Finally, following what suggested here, I refreshed FNDB as admin. Now the error message is:

Font LS1/libertinust1math/m/n/10=libertinust1-mathrm at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. }]

Can someone help me to solve the problem? (I'm working on Windows10, with MikTeX 2.9 and TeXstudio)

Answer 1

Your problem is of the same kind as the one stated here, i.e. the map file of the font is not activated.

To solve this issue, open a command window and type the following:

initexmf --edit-config-file updmap

This will open the file updmap.cfg in a text editor window. Add the line

Map libertinust1math.map

to the file and save it. Then run

initexmf --mkmaps

and everything should work as expected.

Answer 2

Are you willing to try it the LuaLaTeX way? Does not require much by way of learning. MWE:

% !TeX program = LuaLaTeX
% !TeX encoding = UTF-8
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmainfont{Linux Libertine O} % Note the O
\setmathfont{Libertinus Math}
\begin{document}
I detest math.\par
Math: $x$\par
\end{document}

The first two lines are meta-instructions to TeXWorks, which might not apply to your setup. Note that there is no call to the Libertine or Libertinus packages! Calling those packages is actually counter-productive, in this case. If the Open Type fonts *.otf are in your system and can be found, then they will be loaded without regard for any map files or metrics.
