Package: texlive
Version: 2013.20140408-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I was recommended to follow the procedure at
http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#x1-340003.4.4
on comp.text.tex.
[Following is a rewrite of a mail discussion there]
I took the link above and found it on my system as well:
/usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/texlive/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#x1-340003.4.4
[Doing this just in case my tex is somehow different than the standard!]
Not so. I find the same as at the link, viz:
| [For Unix Systems]
| To facilitate this, when the xetex package is installed (either at
| initial installation or later), the necessary configuration file is
| created in TEXMFSYSVAR/fonts/conf/texlive-fontconfig.conf.
|
| To set up the TEX Live fonts for system-wide use (assuming you have
| suitable privileges), proceed as follows:
|
| 1. Copy the texlive-fontconfig.conf file to
/etc/fonts/conf.d/09-texlive.conf.
| 2. Run fc-cache -fsv.
So what's TEXMFSYSVAR then?
I find (at /usr/share/doc/tex-common/TeX-on-Debian.html/ch2.html#s-sec-texmf-trees)
| TEXMFSYSVAR
| Default location: /var/lib/texmf/
So that means I have to copy the file:
/var/lib/texmf/fonts/conf/texlive-fontconfig.conf to /etc...
But I find no such file!!
In fact there is no conf directory inside the /var/lib/texmf/fonts/
directory at all.
-- Package-specific info:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: We will only consider bug reports concerning
the packaging of TeX Live as relevant. If you have problems with
combination of packages in a LaTeX document, please consult your
local TeX User Group, the comp.text.tex user group, the author of
the original .sty file, or any other help resource.
In particular, bugs that are related to up-upstream, i.e., neither
Debian nor TeX Live (upstream), but the original package authors,
will be closed immediately.
*** The Debian TeX Team is *not* a LaTeX Help Desk ***
If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the
error in your report.
Please run your example with
(pdf)latex -recorder ...
(or any other program that supports -recorder) and send us the generated
file with the extension .fls, it lists all the files loaded during
the run and can easily explain problems induced by outdated files in
your home directory.
Don't forget to also include minimal examples of other files that are
needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!
If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at
http://www.minimalbeispiel.de/mini-en.html (english)
or

Which is for upstream TeX Live, and not for Debian/TeX Live.

Yes, because we do not create this.
Debian/TeX Live doe snot provision for this.
You cannot use the documentation from upstream TeX Live as is,
as in many places Debian/TeX Live is different, since integrated
into Debian.
Closing this bug.
