I have a problem with XeTeX and extra fonts installed with TexLive 2020, which are required for XeTex and LuaTeX. I work on Ubuntu 2020.
The file name I am referring to is texlive-fontconfig.conf. According to The TeX Live Guide—2020 or specifically the section 3.4.4 System font configuration for XeTeX and LuaTeX, I should copy the file to /etc/fonts/config.d/ (system-wide) or to ~/.fonts.conf (user-wide) and rename it as 09-texlive.conf. Then I should run sudo fc-cache -fs or fc-cache -f, respectively.
The syste-wide approach works Okey. I can compile a test file opentype-info.tex using XeTeX and produce a pdf file.
When I try to cache the same fonts just for a user, XeTeX reports that fonts are not loadable. I tried to re-open a terminal and even restarted the system but XeTeX still complains about missing fonts when I compile the same test file. Is there anything else I should do to make those fonts visible for XeTeX (and possibly LuaTeX)?
texlive-fontconfig.confin the first place. – Marcel Krüger yesterdaytlmgr --versionretutns:tlmgr revision 57119 (2020-12-13 00:40:00 +0100),tlmgr using installation: [/path/to/]texlive/2020, andTeX Live (https://tug.org/texlive) version 2020– Celdor yesterday~/.fonts.confyou could try the the more modern location~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d. – Marcel Krüger yesterday~/.fonts.conf; it was a typo. I have been following the user guide on installation TexLive, which currently states to copy a file to~/.fonts.conf. They should update it! I also copied the fontconfig file to the location you suggested and it's working. So, many thanks for help. – Celdor yesterday
