Compiling the MWE below:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{CountriesOfEurope}
\pagestyle{empty}

\begin{document}
\EUCountry{139}
\end{document}

results in a blank .dvi file, and with both dvips and ps2pdf (or with pdftex), I get error messages telling me that the font CountriesofEurope was not found. I have a complete and updated MikTeX 2.9 installation running on Windows XP and I've checked that the .afm, enc., .map, .pfb, and .tfm files are installed in the corresponding folders. I have updated the FNDB and also ran the shell command updmap.

Any idea on what the problem may be would be welcome.

The .log file from a pdflatex compilation is appended next:

  • I use the latest update of Miktex 2.9 under Win 7, and dvi, dvi->ps->pdf and PDFLaTex work fine and output the Finland shape. Commented Jul 23, 2012 at 23:17
  • I do get a blank page with pfdlatex/TeXLive2011, so perhaps TeXLive2012 is required? However, if I use XeLaTeX things work fine with TexLive2011. Commented Jul 23, 2012 at 23:38
  • I just installed the package in miktex 2.9. and your example works fine. So it is not a problem with the package but with your installation. Show the log-file of a pdflatex(!) run and also tell the exact path of the .pfb. Commented Jul 24, 2012 at 9:25
  • @Ulrike Fischer: I have appended to my original post the .log file of a pdflatex compilation. I have updated my MikTeX installation with the MiKTeX manager, refreshed the FNDB, updated formats, and checked that the files were actually there. Everything seems to be in order. Nonetheless, a blank page again.

  • If the /_/ in path of pdftex.map is your user name then you have a multiuser installation and a local user map. Are you sure that you did run updmap as user (without -admin) to update this map? Commented Jul 25, 2012 at 6:16

The CTAN catalog says that MikTeX does include the package CountriesofEurope. My actual installation of MiKTeX 2.9 does not. The package manager of MikTeX tolds me that Package CountriesofEurope is realy not installed.

Please install the package with the manager and your MWE will run. Install the package with Windows-start - all Programs - MiKTeX 2.9 - Maintanance (Admin) - Package Manager (Admin). Then choose CountriesofEurope and click on the green + sign.

  • That's what I've done. I've done this from WinEdt 6 and also from the command line (on Windows XP). I've ran texhash --admin and initexmf --admin -u, and the result is the same. Actually, there is some problem with my MikTeX installation, since the packages that have been added starting with my last update (i.e., those non-existant before in my installation) are not found -- the files are there, though. Any idea on something else I can try to effectively refresh the FNDB?

  • It was helpful indeed, but mostly to check that I had already proceeded like described there. As a last resort, I'm going to unistall and install again from scratch. That means some work, but hopefully I'll have it running cleanly again.

  • My gosh ;-) This has some age... Yes, as I said in my comments, something seemed to be going on with my installation, because none of the suggestions turned out to be useful and only after a fresh full installation it worked. Now I think that I could have as well checked your answer, since it may lead somebody else with a similar problem to a solution.

  • On macOS I had to run sudo tlmgr install countriesofeurope to install the package. Commented Feb 24, 2023 at 8:32
