I have Ubuntu 10.04 and I have installed Tex Live 2011 (as super user) as per quick install guide. I also have run the command sudo texhash.
I use Texworks to make PDFs. But I get error when trying to load most basic font packages, like helvet or times. I use this command in the pre-amble of the tex document:
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{times}
or any other name for font, like helvet or cmbright.
I get the error that the sty package cannot be loaded:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Debian)

Is there any way to get a list of font packages THAT CAN BE LOADED using \usepackage
command?
tex -v
from the Terminal to see which TeX is being picked up, and if this is correct check your TeXworks preferences to make sure it's using the correct one. – Joseph Wright♦ Oct 19 '11 at 9:03
