Discussion between QuantumDot and egreg

A: How use Mathematica fonts with LaTeX - which method?

The instructions you mention are rather outdated. Modify wolfram.map to have .pfa instead of .pfb (to reflect the format of the font files) and remove all from Janson Text onwards, as those fonts are not provided. Copy wolfram.map to /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/map/dvips/wolfram/wolfr...

egreg

@murray What's most important is not using updmap that may create problems in using fonts when they are updated via tlmgr.

QuantumDot

I am using Mathematica 9.0.1: I copied all necessary files in steps 2-5, and successfully got 6 to work. At step 7 I got error Unknown option: enable-map. Any ideas? Would it work if I just skipped this step?

I tried to compile my LaTeX document with \usepackage{wrisym} but it failed: mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for Mathematica1. So clearly I'm doing something wrong. Any ideas?

egreg

@QuantumDot updmap-sys --enable Map=wolfram map should work. I'll fix the code.

QuantumDot

@egreg Thanks, it now runs marginally better: But after 4 lines of output (including resetting $HOME$ value), it gives me the error: updmap: invalid mapType map at /usr/texbin/updmap line 1470. This seems to be an excessive amount of trouble for something so simple.

egreg

@QuantumDot What TeX distribution are you running?

@QuantumDot If the Mathematica font distribution is corrupt, it's not a fault of the TeX system.

@QuantumDot Apart from the slip in step 7 (fixed), the instructions should work if the map file is good. I'm not really going to download and install fonts that are quite bad, in my opinion.

Hi, I'm on Mac OS X 10.9.4, and just 3 hours ago I installed fresh TeX distribution... let me check the version

egreg

Can you show the contents of wolfram.map?

QuantumDot

Ok, I just installed the 2014 distribution from here tug.org/mactex

egreg

@QuantumDot did you use the “new” step 7 under “Update”?

QuantumDot

Let me get the file

yes, I did.

but my folder /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/web2c/ appears empty

and so I am unable to add a line to updmap.cfg.

Math1 Math1 <Math1.pfa

@QuantumDot Create the file: sudo touch /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/web2c/updmap.cfg

QuantumDot

8:58 PM

Ok; just created it --

I can add the line now

egreg

Then do sudo nano /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/web2c/updmap.cfg, add the line Map wolfram.map and do control-X, answering Y.

Now try sudo mktexlsr and sudo updmap-sys

QuantumDot

Ok, finished adding the line
