org2pdf export broken on parabola

org2pdf export broken on parabola

[Divan Santana]

Hi All,

So I'm pretty new to Emacs and org-mode. Loving it so far.

On parabola (FSF approved Arch linux distro) the default emacs org2pdf
function is broken.

Details on the reason here:

https://lists.parabola.nu/pipermail/assist/2016-August/000716.html

Something about freedom licensing issues I think.

Two questions:

1) How can I work around this issue on parabola so I can export org 2
pdf?

2) If there is an issue with the texlive fonts should org upstream not
default to a free software compatible font? So org2pdf works on FSF
approved distros?

AFAIK the default org export does not do any font selection (either
of free or non-free fonts).  So it should work just fine.

Obviously it does not for you, though.  It would be helpful if you could
send an example of an org document (it can be short/meaningless, as long
as it demonstrates the problem), the latex it produces on export, and
the latex compiler log file, so that we can see the error.  Looking at
that, we will probably be able to diagnose your problem more precisely,
and figure out what needs to be changed to make it work.

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply.

My initial post was a lacking detail, sorry...

So, on parabola Linux, a simply org file, like this:

If I try export via C-c C-e l p

results in a blank PDF.

The *Org PDF LaTeX Output* buffer contains this:

So basically it says the font ecrm1095.mf is missing.
On arch linux this file is at
/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/source/jknappen/ec/ecrm1095.mf and provided
by package texlive-core.

On parabola linux this font is missing due to some issues which are
detailed here:
https://lists.parabola.nu/pipermail/assist/2016-August/000716.html

So I'm wondering how one can use the org export to PDF function on
parabola linux which has stripped these fonts due to some licensing
issue (I think).

[...snip the rest...]

This log indicates that the problem occurs during the loading of the
fontenc package.  Fontenc is a good package to load, apparently:
<https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/664/why-should-i-use-usepackaget1fontenc>.

You can probably fix this error by either removing the entry for the
fontenc package from org-latex-default-packages-alist, or setting
org-latex-compiler to either lualatex or xelatex (newer latex compilers
neither of which use fontenc).  Of course, either of these might uncover
further problems (the parabola approach to packaging texlive seems
pretty haphazard), but I believe either step would fix the problem you
have reported.

Brilliant. Simple work around. Glad to have this working.

Thanks a ton!
