Hi,
I am also having the following error with pdflatex upon upgrading to F38 from F37.
pathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+120/600 --dpi 720 eurm10
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for eurm10.
mktexpk: perhaps eurm10 is missing from the map file.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
(see the transcript file for additional information)
!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file eurm10): Font eurm10 at 720 not found
==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
How do I get around this issue?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

Hi,
This error appears to perhaps be coming from including texlive-upgreek (which I am using
in my document). Removing this call from the LaTeX document gets around this issue, but of
course produces errors of upgreek characters not being found. Something appears to have
changed from F37 to F38 with this LaTeX TeXlive package.
Any suggestions? Happy to provide more information.
Best wishes,
Ranjan

Anyone has any suggestions on how to get around this problem? What BZ report, if any,
should I file?
Many thanks,

Where did you get texlive-upgreek? I don't see it in Fedora.
Do you have the texlive-amsfonts package installed? That seems to be
the package that contains eurm10.afm.

Thanks, it appears that upgreek.sty is in texlive-was-9, but is not on F38. It is a F37
package.

However, there is a version difference with the one in F37, where upgreek still works.

There was another question about this on the devel list. As near as I
can see in koji, there is no texlive-was-9 package.
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=5402
The rpm that contains upgreek.sty seems to be

There is also, in f37,

It looks like the epoch changes, and somehow messes up the update.

I was explicitly able to update to texlive-was-svn64691-65.fc38.

I am not a texlive user, so won't be able to help with this. I suggest

That works on my F38 machine. Does this turn up anything?
find /usr/share/texlive -name \*.rpmnew
I'm especially interested in /usr/share/texlive/web2c/updmap.cfg. If
there's an rpmnew version, you might have to fix that up before your
example will work.

No, I get a blank. Nothing comes back (just the cursor).

This file does not exist on my system (both F37 or F38).
Here is what I get when I search for the file:

But for the epoch numbers, etc that have changed in F38 from F37, the files are the same
in F37.
But I now do not understand why the file compiles for you on F38, and not for me.
Thanks again!

How do I get around this issue?
TeX uses fontmap files that should tell pdflatex to use eurm10 font data,
which includes .PostScript (.pfb format) files. Sometimes users run
things that generate fontmap and format files in their user directory and
which then hides recent changes to the system files.
OpenType supports upright variants:
See:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/145926/upright-greek-font-fitting...
Your example "works for me" in Debian with their TeX Live packages, and on
Fedora using CTAN TeX Live 2023. The eurm10 fonts are present, but I
didn't have
upgreek.sty.
This F38 system has:

Check that the generated fontmap has eurm10 entries:
$ grep -F 'eurm10'
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map
eurm10 EURM10 <eurm10.pfb
eurm9 EURM10 <eurm10.pfb
eurmo10 EURM10 " .167 SlantFont " <eurm10.pfb
Note that support for PostScript fonts is disappearing, so it should not be
surprising to
encounter surprises when trying to use pfb fonts because fewer people are
using them and discoveriing problems. Many long-time TeX users
don't really understand font technologies and are resistant to change, but
if
you can switch to OpenType fonts it should reduce surprises as they have
become mainstream.

George,
My thanks to you for your detailed descriptions. Here are some findings:

TeX uses fontmap files that should tell pdflatex to use eurm10 font data,
which includes .PostScript (.pfb format) files. Sometimes users run
things that generate fontmap and format files in their user directory and
which then hides recent changes to the system files.
OpenType supports upright variants:
See:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/145926/upright-greek-font-fitting...
Thanks for this. There is an example there which essentially rewrites the upgreek
variants. I think that I can make it work for me, but!
Your example "works for me" in Debian with their TeX Live
packages, and on
Fedora using CTAN TeX Live 2023. The eurm10 fonts are present, but I
didn't have
upgreek.sty.
This F38 system has:
Installed Packages
Name : texlive-amsfonts
Epoch : 10
Version : svn61937
Release : 65.fc38
Architecture : noarch
Size : 5.9 M
Source : texlive-2022-65.fc38.src.rpm
Repository : @System
From repo : fedora
Summary : TeX fonts from the American Mathematical Society
URL : http://tug.org/texlive/
License : OFL-1.1
Description : An extended set of fonts for use in mathematics, including:
: extra mathematical symbols; blackboard bold letters
(uppercase
: only); fraktur letters; subscript sizes of bold math italic
and
: bold Greek letters; subscript sizes of large symbols such as
: sum and product; added sizes of the Computer Modern small
caps
: font; cyrillic fonts (from the University of Washington);
Euler
: mathematical fonts. All fonts are provided as Adobe Type 1
: files, and all except the Euler fonts are provided as
Metafont
: source. The distribution also includes the canonical Type 1
: versions of the Computer Modern family of fonts. Plain TeX
and
: LaTeX macros for using the fonts are provided.
and includes:
$ find /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts -name eurm10\*
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/public/amsfonts/euler/eurm10.tfm
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/amsfonts/euler/eurm10.afm
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/amsfonts/euler/eurm10.pfb
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/amsfonts/euler/eurm10.pfm
So, I have this package installed/updated, and:
$ find /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts -name eurm10\*
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/amsfonts/euler/eurm10.pfm
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/amsfonts/euler/eurm10.pfb
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/amsfonts/euler/eurm10.afm
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/public/amsfonts/euler/eurm10.tfm
For the .sty file you need to install the Walter Schmidt
(was)package:
texlive-was.
Yes, I have this installed from the Fedora sources.
TeX Live 2003 from CTAN has:
$ find /usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/fonts -name eurm10\*
/usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/amsfonts/euler/eurm10.afm
/usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/public/amsfonts/euler/eurm10.tfm
/usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/amsfonts/euler/eurm10.pfb
/usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/amsfonts/euler/eurm10.pfm
Check that the generated fontmap has eurm10 entries:
$ grep -F 'eurm10'
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map
eurm10 EURM10 <eurm10.pfb
eurm9 EURM10 <eurm10.pfb
eurmo10 EURM10 " .167 SlantFont " <eurm10.pfb
So, unlike you, I have only one entry here:
$ grep -F 'eurm10'
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map
eurmo10 EURM10 " .167 SlantFont " <eurm10.pfb
Note that support for PostScript fonts is disappearing, so it should
not be
surprising to
encounter surprises when trying to use pfb fonts because fewer people are
using them and discoveriing problems. Many long-time TeX users
don't really understand font technologies and are resistant to change, but
if
you can switch to OpenType fonts it should reduce surprises as they have
become mainstream.
I see, I have seen publishers that hang on to things far worse. I have many howlers to
retell:-)
Anyway, but what surprises me is that someone on this list (Jerry) was able to run the
same file on F38. I do not believe that I have anything special locally installed on
LaTeX.
Thanks again to everybody for their help and suggestions!
Best wishes,
Ranjan
