problem with MathTime Pro 2 fonts and MikTeX

[Stan]

I'm trying to install MathTime Pro 2 fonts to use with MikTeX 2.9 (using
WinEDT 6 under Windows 7). I used the instructions at
http://www.pctex.com/kb/56.html, but this didn't work. I tried to typeset
this with Plain TeX:

\input mtp2

text.

\bye


but got an error. The log file's empty, but I copied/pasted the text that
shows up at the bottom of the screen in WinEDT at the bottom of this
message. Has anybody had the same problem, or can anyone make sense of
the errors? I checked, and the tfm files are in my root directory. I
also checked another installation of MikTeX on a Windows XP computer, and
everything works fine there even though there's no file named "mt2m.cfg"
there, either.

Thanks,


Stan

Use search engines, Stan. For example, google gives me these:

I found those pages too. Reinstalling as suggested in the first page
didn't fix the error I'm getting. (Mine's similar but not identical to

P.S. Did you try MT Pro 2 with LaTeX?

Yes, with no luck.

I might have found the problem, but I still don't know how to solve it. I
decided to open "updmap.cfg" in a text editor, and saw that it doesn't
have the lines from step 5 in http://www.pctex.com/kb/56.html. I searched
for other files with the same name, and found one in my "roaming" folder
under "appdata". It was created when I did step 4. It contains only the
following lines:

%% T1 font configuration settings. See the MiKTeX manual for help.
# MathTimePro II
Map mtpro2.map

It doesn't seem to matter what directory I'm in when I run the initexmf
line and the updmap line in steps 4 and 7. It's not modifying the right
copy of updmap.cfg. (Or what I think it the right copy, the one under
C:\Program Files (x86)\MikTeX\....) I can't modify that file directly in
a text editor, since I don't have permission to save to its location.
Making a copy of it in My Documents, modifying it in a text editor, and
then replacing the original with that copy didn't work. Do you know if
that's the copy that needs to be changed? I couldn't find anything in the
MikTeX manual about it.

Thanks,

Try to run

The first command should merge all updmap.cfg files into one, the second
command should generate file that pdflatex of dvips uses to produce pdf

each time I try this, which is not stated anywhere in the steps. (I'm not
actually sure that's required after doing it once after moving the mtp2
files into my local directory, but I've been doing it each time just in
case.) I wonder whether omitting something like that is stopping the
"real" copy of updmap.cfg from being modified.

I should asked you eariler: what TeX distribution do you use? MiKTeX?
TeX Live?

Could you LIST the content of the archive with MT Pro 2? For example, if
'mtpro2.zip' is archive with MT Pro 2 files unzip them and run in
command line
C:\Temp\mtpro2> dir

Where do you unpack the archive, does your TeX distribution knows where
to search for that files? Run
C:\> kpsewhich [sty file from archive]
according to some PDFs this is 'mtpro2.sty', kpsewhich command provided
by both MiKTeX and TeX Live.

Minimal LaTeX example:

<example file="ex.ltx">
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mtpro2}

\begin{document}
This is example.

The great formula $\exp^{\imath x}=\cos{x}+\imath\sin{x}$.

\end{document}
</example>

Run:
C:\Temp\test>latex -interaction=nonstopmode ex.ltx

P.S. I suspect that this LaTeX file could fail with 'File .. not found' or
similar message. This would mean that tex don't find needed file and MT
Pro 2 is installed incorrectly.

I ran your example, and got a log file (attached).

I looked into it.
Now strange thing: latex finds style file but it can't
find font files (TFM). According to 'print.txt' they in distribution,
could you check the following:
1. make sure that you copied distribution files in proper place;
the above 'kpsewhich' command shows that 'mtpro2.sty' file in
'C:/TeX/tex/texmf/tex/latex/mtpro2'
Is 'C:/TeX/tex/texmf' (exactly this directory!) in MiKTeX search path
(listed under tab 'Roots' in settings app)?
2. make sure that there are TFM files in 'C:/TeX/tex/texmf/fonts/tfm/pctex/mtpro2'

In any case try the following:
1. Remove 'C:/TeX...' directory from 'Roots' (if it doesn't contain
other essential TeX/LaTeX files), remove only from the LIST!, not from
DISK!
2.
a) Extract distribution archive to C:\Temp\mtp2 as you do eariler.
b) Add directory 'C:\Temp\mtp2\texmf' to the list of 'Roots'.
c) Refresh file name database (FNDB),
d) add 'map' file to 'updmap.cfg': run
initexmf --edit-config-file updmap
and add line 'Map mtpro2.map' to it,
e) run
initexmf --mkmaps
3. Run latex on example file. Now it should find TFM files (font files).

If this would work then you improperly installed MT Pro 2 (I suspect that
latex from MiKTeX finds sty file even in wrong place but font
files must be in proper place).

It worked, but not entirely as I thought it would. I attached the TeX
file, and the log and pdf. The \exp, \cos, and \sin are all in Computer
Modern, but the x and dotless i are in mtp2. I haven't set up mtp2 in a
while - obviously - but I don't remember any special commands needed for
making stuff like \sin typeset in mtp2. Does the log file indicate why
that's happening?

should include all the directories under it.

As I said, a LaTeX engine will find sty file even if its location is wrong
(somewhere under 'C:\TeX' if the path is listed under 'Roots'). This is not a
bug, it is a feature. Font files are another beasts, dvips or font part
of pdflatex engine will search them only in specific directories.

2. make sure that there are TFM files in
'C:/TeX/tex/texmf/fonts/tfm/pctex/mtpro2'

They're there.

1. Remove 'C:/TeX...' directory from 'Roots' (if it doesn't contain
other essential TeX/LaTeX files), remove only from the LIST!, not from
DISK!
2.
a) Extract distribution archive to C:\Temp\mtp2 as you do eariler.
b) Add directory 'C:\Temp\mtp2\texmf' to the list of 'Roots'.
c) Refresh file name database (FNDB),
d) add 'map' file to 'updmap.cfg': run
initexmf --edit-config-file updmap
and add line 'Map mtpro2.map' to it,
e) run
initexmf --mkmaps
3. Run latex on example file. Now it should find TFM files (font files).
If this would work then you improperly installed MT Pro 2 (I suspect that
latex from MiKTeX finds sty file even in wrong place but font
files must be in proper place).

It worked,

and as I said that means you have improperly installed MT Pro 2 distribution.
Now you have to install them correctly but afraid it could be painful.

If you wish to continue you have to be careful.

1. As you have installed MT Pro 2 manually you have to manually remove it.
Accoring to print.txt (archive listing) there are two directories in distribution:
templates/
and
texmf/
and file 'EULA*.txt'.

AFAIU, you extract content of the archive into
C:/TeX/tex
so there are
C:/TeX/tex/templates
and
C:/TeX/tex/texmf
directories.

If before installation there were no such directories under 'C:/TeX/tex' simply
remove them.

2. Extract context of the archive into some temporary place, for example
in
C:/Temp/mtp2
Then copy all directories under
C:/Temp/mtp2/texmf
directly into[1]
C:/TeX
For example, file 'mtpro2.sty' (package 'mtpro2') must have the following path:
C:/TeX/tex/latex/mtpro2/mtpro2.sty
and TFM fonts must be in directory
C:/TeX/fonts/tfm/pctex/mtpro2/

[1] May be you already notice that 'C:/TeX' has special structure, there
are directories 'doc', 'fonts', 'tex' and etc. If not, take a look into
directory in which MiKTeX was installed (usually 'C:/Program Files/MiKTeX')
to get idea.

Now do steps c), d) and e).

The only left directory is 'templates'. You can copy it to
C:/TeX/doc/latex/mtpro2
(you have to create this directory of course).

but not entirely as I thought it would. I attached the
TeX file, and the log and pdf. The \exp, \cos, and \sin are all in
Computer Modern, but the x and dotless i are in mtp2. I haven't set
up mtp2 in a while - obviously - but I don't remember any special
commands needed for making stuff like \sin typeset in mtp2. Does
the log file indicate why that's happening?

Do you see 'testMTP2LaTeX.pdf' file from distribution? It is in
'texmf/doc/fonts/mtpro2'. I think you find answer on your issue.

This worked perfectly as far as I can see.

This was just a careless mistake of mine. (Why did I think that \rm would
redefine itself?)


Thanks greatly for all the help,

The example from my original email is the smallest I used, but it
doesn't even get far enough to put anything in the log file. A log
file is created, but it's empty.

I meant LaTeX one.

To be a little bit more verbose than Vladimir: If you run

latex foo.tex

you get a file called "foo.log" in the current working directory.
This is the file we need. You can also inspect it yourself. Maybe
you find something suspicious. If not, don't hesitate to send us the
file.

Reinhard
