how to update font?

TeX - LaTeX Asked by user126154 on July 25, 2021

I’m using LaTeX with a ubuntu distro (auctex) and used the following command

fontfamily{augie}selectfont

to set a augie calligraphic font. Everithyng goes fine but… it seems that the ì character is missing (all ohter accented letters are regularly there) a quick search on internet showed that the accented i actually exists in augie. So I though that maybe I can solve my problem just by updating. But I dont know how to do it!

So, how can tell my system to update the augie font package?

One Answer

It’s highly unlikely that there’s a newer version of the package than you have, since the files on CTAN were last updated in 2006. There isn’t an Ubuntu or TeX Live package with Augie, either, because of a license preventing distribution.

However, the latest version on the Internet Archive, from 2013, includes a TrueType version that you can use with either LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX. A quick check shows that i is there.

You could also try copying the Type 1 files to a subdirectory of your TEXMFLOCAL tree, then running sudo texhash and sudo updmap-sys. (Type kpsewhich --var-value=TEXMFLOCAL to find it.) I have no idea if that would actually work here.

If using PDFTeX, make sure you typed i in as a precomposed character. You might check if `{i} works.
