Hi Gary,

That error seems to be  because you are loading the mathdesign package for math, which requires that you install garamond as well as garamondx with getnonfreefonts. My preference is to use the preamble

\usepackage{garamondx}
\usepackage[garamondx,bigdelims]{newtxmath}
\useosf

which does not depend on the ugm*8a.pfb.
