Mac: Fixing Metric (TFM) file not found
by admin on Apr.26, 2015, under MAC OS X
Today I stumbled across an annoying error message when attempting to build a LaTeX template. The error message said a font called Metric (TFM) was not found. It turned out a package called texlive-fonts-recommended wasn’t installed on my MacBook. If you’re using MacPorts, you can fix this easily by issuing the following command in a new Terminal window:
sudo port install texlive-fonts-recommended
After installing the package above, texlive (which is being used by the texmaker GUI anyways) was able to build my pdf file successfully.
