dear TeXperts:<br>
<br>
I am trying to upgrade to the TeXLive distribution. Alas, not
everything is rosy in my tex-land, even though I tried to follow
instructions religiously. First, I purged my old tetex, and purged all
tex related environment variables. I also killed ~/.tex* . Then I
installed texlive 2007 on my amd64 linux gentoo system. The
installation went well and TL seems to work.<br>
<br>
I then tried what I thought were the lucida installation steps:<br>
<br>
<pre wrap=""> # cd <i class="moz-txt-slash"><span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>usr/local/texlive/texmf-local<span
class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i> ; unzip lucida.zip # from ctan
# this leaves me with a <i class="moz-txt-slash"><span
class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/lucida<span
class="moz-txt-tag">/ </span></i>hierarchy
# cp l*.pfb <i class="moz-txt-slash"><span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/type1/local/bh/lucida<span
class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i> # from purchase
# note the above is a hybrid path, reading the lucida install file and noting that
# lucida.zip creates <i class="moz-txt-slash"><span
class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/type1/local<span
class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i>
# texhash
# updmap
</pre>
<br>
Next, I created my small test file<br>
<br>
\documentclass[12pt]{article}<br>
% shameless copy: I am not sure what this does, but I presume it should
work<br>
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}<br>
\usepackage{textcomp} % to get the right copyright, etc. % use Lucida
fonts for both text and math.<br>
\usepackage[altbullet]{lucidabr} % get larger bullet<br>
\DeclareEncodingSubset{TS1}{hlh}{1} % including \oldstylenums<br>
\begin{document}<br>
{\LARGE Print me} ok \par<br>
hello world\par<br>
\end{document}<br>
% The following causes a complete error --- maybe because it does try
to load lucida<br>
\title{hi}<br>
\author{me}<br>
\maketitle<br>
\end{document}<br>
<br>
<br>
The sample file compiles, but it works only because it seems to use
computer-modern as its font. if I comment out the \end{document} in
the middle, then lucida seems to want to load (good), but not work
(bad). I get the following:<br>
