MiKTeX: "Font ccicons at 600 not found"

TeX - LaTeX Asked by Afr on January 18, 2021

I’m using MiKTeX 2.9 and TeXnicCenter 1.0-RC1 (Windows 7) and try to compile the following minimal code:

documentclass{article}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage{ccicons}
begin{document}
 ccbysa
end{document}

I installed the ccicons-package using the MiKTeX Package Manager (MPM). TeXnicCenter gives 0 errors, 0 warnings – nothing, but doesn’t even create any PDF output. Reading the log-file shows the following fatal error:

!pdfTeX error: C:Program Files (x86)MiKTeX 2.9miktexbinpdflatex.exe (file
ccicons): Font ccicons at 600 not found
==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

While browsing the net for this error, I came across this question: Font installed, compiles to dvi, but fails compiling to pdf. "font at 600 not found" – which is quite the same problem that I have.

The suggested solution is to run updmap-sys --enable Map=ccicons.map or updmap --enable Map=ccicons.map but this is obviously linux command line notation. Running this from a Windows command prompt I will always get the following message:

mkfntmap: –enable: unknown option

I also tried -enable or /enable but still the same result. So, my question, what is the correct command for Windows users? (It’s quite strange as MiKTeX is originally designed for Windows, isn’t it?)

The ccicons readme also suggests running updmap --enable Map ccicons.map … Any ideas?

Without any hope of success ;-) You can try the following steps.

  1. Edit the map configuration file updmap.cfg. In a Command Prompt window, run:

    initexmf --edit-config-file updmap
    

    You'll want to edit this in a text editor such as Notepad. If the file or any of the leading directories do not exist, create them.

  2. Add this one line to updmap.cfg and save it:

    Map ccicons.map
    
  3. Back at the command prompt, run:

    initexmf --mkmaps
    

    (Ignore any error messages.)

These steps were described as I bought the font Lucida

The message means that the map-file has not been activated correctly. Normally this happens because

  • The miktex package is defective. In this case must add it manually as described by Marco.

Or

  • You have a multiuser installation, but a local pdftex.map. In this case you must call updmap everytime you installed a font to update this local pdftex.map.

In this case the miktex package is defective. I have made a bug report.

On latest version of MikTeX, it is possible to force update of the font map files and font map database. You open the console and two actions are available in Task menu: - Refresh file name database - Refresh font map files

This solved the issue on my side (Font umvs at 600 not found)
