I'm trying to convert a LateX template to lualatex and having trouble
with a truetype font. I'm runing Linux.
I downloaded the zip file for a TrueType Computer Modern Dunhill
Regular font. I unipped it and copied the resulting .ttf file to a
directory in my font paths. I copied it as 'CM Dunhill Regular.ttf',
CM_Dunhiull.ttf and as Dunhill.ttf because I was unsure of which was
right.
I then ran $ fc-cache -f -v
As the result:
$ fc-cache -f -v | grep Dunhill
/home/haines/.local/share/fonts/Unknown Vendor/TrueType/CM_Dunhill :
caching, new cache contents: 1 fonts, 0 dirs
/home/haines/.local/share/fonts/Unknown Vendor/TrueType/CM_Dunhill
: skipping, looped directory detected
Then I try to use the font in a document
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Linux Libertine O}
\begin{document}
{\fontspec{CM_Dunhill} Dunhill} test
\end{document}
But errors. One is a list of missing unicode characters such as
Missing character: There is no l (U+006C) in font CM_Dunhill:mode=node;language=
dflt;!
Another is
(file /home/haines/.local/share/fonts/Unknown Vendor/TrueType/CM_Dunhill
/CM_Dunhill__Regular_.ttf) (type 2): there are no glyphs in the
subset
