Yeah, this looks to me like your setup is attempting to load (or build??) a font as part of the compilation process. As far as I know, that is not something that should be required when compiling an Org document exported to LaTeX with the default options. What are the values of your org-latex-default-packages-alist org-latex-packages-alist org-latex-pdf-process variables? And what does the header of the exported .tex file look like? I guess the way to debug this is to remove the packages that are loaded in the exported .tex file, one at a time, until you discover the one that is at fault here. (If it's not some particular package, but rather TeX/LaTeX itself that's trying to use METAFONT, I think you're in deeper waters...) Best, Richard
