I'm trying to follow the example on the Wikipedia page about XeTeX. But when I run the TeX code, I get this error:

(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/etex-pkg/etex.sty)
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/fixltx2e.sty))kpathsea: Invalid fontname `Linux Libertine O', contains ' '

! Font \zf@basefont="Linux Libertine O" at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file or installed font not found.
\zf@fontspec ...ntname \zf@suffix " at \f@size pt

l.3 ...infont[Mapping=tex-text]{Linux Libertine O}

Any idea why that is? I have both the TTF files for Libertine installed and I also have the XeTeX libertine package.

[EDIT] I'm on openSUSE 11.3 and I've installed XeTeX from the TeX Live 2010 CD.

  • Could we have a clue as to your OS and where you've installed the font.

The TTF version of Libertine are usually named 'Linux Libertine' without the trailing ' O', so try using that name or installing the OTF version.

Open the font with font viewer such as gfontview, is the font name in the correct format?

Ensure that the font by this (correct) name is accessible in other program such as open office!

  • @Aaron: I mean a font viewer such as gfontview, which show the correct font name on up right hand side of its window. Commented Feb 14, 2011 at 11:30
