I am using Ubuntu as OS. When I try to run a tex code, I receive this error from Textmaker : 

! Font T1/ppl/m/n/12=pplr8t at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found
! Font T1/ppl/m/n/24.88=pplr8t at 24.88pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
! Font \T1/ppl/b/n/24.88=nullfont not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
...

It seems to be a Font problem, but I have no idea on how to fix it. Thank you in advance for your help. Please note that the same code could be run perfectly before. I tried to reinstall texmaker but it didn't helped.

EDIT Please find on below the Packages used : 

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{ucs}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{mathrsfs}
\usepackage{fancybox}

  • Thank you for this warm welcome! Considering the code, I doubt that it will be useful, considering the errors given. However I will give you the packages I am loading.

As you tested, this solves the problem.

  sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-recommended
  sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra

Some expert could say if both packages are necessary or only one does the job.

    I've verified that sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-recommended Is sufficient to get ppl. I can't speak directly to your code though.

  • @SayOL, if you use MikTeX you can use its package manager.

  • @SayOL so you can use tlmgr to install packages. Search for it on Google to know how to use.
