Description Roger Leigh 2014-03-09 20:40:01 UTC
On a Linux system running TeXLive 2013:

$ ls -l /etc/fonts/conf.d/09-texlive.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 62 Aug  8  2013 /etc/fonts/conf.d/09-texlive.conf -> /opt/texlive/2013/texmf-var/fonts/conf/texlive-fontconfig.conf

Having the fonts registered with fontconfig is necessary for XeTeX/XeLaTeX to be able to find and use OpenType/TrueType fonts such as TeX Gyre, which are provided by TeXLive.

Example test case:
--------------------[test.tex]-----------------------------------
\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\setsansfont{TeX Gyre Heros}

Fix: 

texmf-var/fonts/conf/texlive-fontconfig.conf is installed by TeXLive when installed by hand, but not installed by the FreeBSD port.  Ideally, this should be installed and then a symlink added to e.g. /usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.d/09texlive which links to the texlive font configuration.  Then, "fc-cache -fsrv" needs running to update the font cache.  After this is done, xelatex should then be able to run without error (since it can find and use the fonts).
How-To-Repeat: Save test file above and run command as above to reproduce.

Example configuration to register OpenType fonts.

Example configuration to register OpenType fonts.  If this is dropped into /usr/local/etc/fonts/fonts/conf.d and "fc-cache -frsv" is run, it will register all texlive-provided OpenType fonts.  The same thing could be done for TrueType and/or Type 1 fonts if desired.

If for example, the package providing the opentype directory under texmf/fonts could provide this file, and all packages providing fonts could run fc-cache, this would mean the texlive-provided fonts would work out of the box with e.g xetex/xelatex.
Comment 3 Roger Leigh 2015-08-17 16:33:51 UTC
Note I'm not sure if this is the proper place for the file in the fontconfig sequence (46), but it works for me.
Comment 4 Walter Schwarzenfeld freebsd_triage 2018-01-13 19:59:58 UTC
Not clear if this is solved. If it is so, please close the  PR.
Comment 5 Roger Leigh 2018-01-16 16:39:04 UTC
I've reopened this because it's still present and unaddressed (just checked to confirm).  Not sure why it was closed given that it's clearly still present based on the information provided here.

TeXLive needs to install a font configuration file into /usr/local/fonts/conf.d so that xetex can find the tex fonts via fontconfig.  I provided an example file right here as an attachment.  That's all that's needed to resolve this--just install this as part of the appropriate package (likely the one containing the opentype fonts).

Updated patch to add fontconfig support

I found a few problems with the original patch (INSTALL_DATA used where INSTALL is needed; config file not included, etc.), so this patch contains everything I needed to successfully build and install the updated texlive-base (tested with poudriere).


Note that followup work includes:
- fc-cache needs running as a post-install step for each tex package providing opentype fonts
- tex-xetex is missing a dependency on tex-dvipdfmx which is required to create PDFs with the correct fonts using xelatex; without it fonts are missing from the created PDF
Comment 9 Roger Leigh 2018-01-22 13:39:10 UTC
The tex-xetex issue was already reported in https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=187403
Comment 10 Muhammad Moinur Rahman freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-02-19 22:55:18 UTC
TeX system has been updated to 2021. Please check if the issue still persists after update.
