I read some TUG's documents about testing the texlive installtion on http://tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#x1-390003.5, After installing TEX Live as best you can, you naturally want to test it out, so you can start creating beautiful documents and/or fonts.

May be its a bug because when I add some lines to ~/.fonts.conf, the test for xetex will pass. Sorry, my English is not so good!

Of course, if there is a package which is crafted specifically for latex then yes, it should configure automatically the font path accordingly. Otherwise is something worth to report.

Well, I think the problem was basically that you needed to instruct your system where to find additional fonts because by default, fonts are usually installed (and thus, seeked) under: /usr/share/fonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts /usr/local/share/fonts ~/.fonts If the fonts are placed anywhere outside those directories/files, you have to make manual adjustments so the system can find and use them, neither aptitude nor apt nor other package manager tool can do that for you ;-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
