I am struggling to understand how to use the installed fonts in Texlive
2012.
I have run updmap (and updmap.sys) but do not understand how to use the
information in the resultant files.
e.g. I see the following entry:
pncr8g NewCenturySchlbk-Roman " groffEncoding ReEncodeFont " <groff.enc
And when I try to use it like this:
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{NewCenturySchlbk-Roman}
and compile using XeLateX, I get:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!
! fontspec error: "font-not-found"
!
! The font "NewCenturySchlbk-Roman" cannot be found.
!
! See the fontspec documentation for further information.
!
! For immediate help type H <return>.
!...............................................
l.20 ...[Mapping=tex-text]{NewCenturySchlbk-Roman}
So what is the use to me of the information contained in those files?
How do I know the correct names of the fonts (to use in \setmainfont{}?
How do I get a list of all the available fonts to use on my system?
Regards
Johann
