I use TeX Live 2012 on an updated Ubuntu 12.10 machine with Latexila. I intended using Adobe's open source font Source Sans Pro in my latest paper.
I followed the instruction on the LaTeX Font Catalogue page, inserted
\usepackage[default,oldstyle]{sourcesanspro}
but Latexila only spits out the following error:
File 'sourcesanspro.sty' not found.
I already installed all LaTeX extra packages, I could find with apt-get.
Any ideas?
You should get an updated version of TexLive - which you obviously did not do before. The latest version includes Source Sans Pro.
It is however not in the official repository for 12.04 and 12.10, so you have to add an unofficial one:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:texlive-backports/ppa
After that, you can install TexLive with apt, not forgetting to get the font package:
$ sudo apt-get install texlive
$ sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-fonts-extra
You can now use Source Sans Pro:
% LaTeX
\usepackage[default]{sourcesanspro}
Or for XeLaTeX:
% !TEX TS-program = XeLaTeX
\setsansfont{Source Sans Pro}
sourcesanspro package I'd like to point out that \usepackage[default]{sourcesanspro} uses the OpenType fonts if you use XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX.

sourcesanspro? I suppose that Ububtu dosn't have that package in the current version. If so, install it by yourself – user2478 Nov 25 '12 at 16:27apt-get install texlive-fonts-extraas this package got displayed when I searched forapt-cache search Source Sans. Probably though, this did not suffice! – mcbetz Nov 25 '12 at 16:35~/texmf/....

If you're brave try the development version. – Silke Nov 26 '12 at 21:08
