The latest newtxtext
package (v1.601 Oct 2, 2019) seems to have broken the \footnote
command.
Here's a MWE
\documentclass{IEEEtran}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{newtxtext} % <------ comment this line to get a successful compilation
\begin{document}
Testing Footnotes\footnote{This is a test for the footnote command}.
\end{document}
When compiled with pdflatex
, I get the following error message
!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file ntxsups_T1.enc): cannot open encoding file for re ading ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
This file is located at /usr/local/texlive/2019/texmf-dist/fonts/enc/dvips/newtx/ntxsups_t1.enc
(the suspicious part being that it is located under the dvips
folder).
How can I workaround this issue?
