Good day,

In section A.2, the manual advises "Linux users will want the urw-fonts package". However, this package only seems to be available for RedHat Linux and Fedora Linux. What about for Debian or Ubuntu ? There is no urw-fonts package for them. Are there any other packages not mentioned that are important for these two distributions ?

edd at max:~$ apt-cache search urw | grep texlive
texlive-fonts-recommended - TeX Live: Recommended fonts
texlive-fonts-extra - TeX Live: Additional fonts
edd at max:~$ 

Both packages list URW fonts promimently in their Description:

shows two possibly relevant packages.


(Maybe this is a Ubuntu/Debian difference? I think Dirk has some machines
running Ubuntu).

Best,

Really? I just fired up Docker instance with Debian 8.2 and saw it there, also

  https://packages.debian.org/sid/texlive-fonts-recommended
  https://packages.debian.org/sid/texlive-fonts-extra

has it.  Otherwise, agreed that a search for URW reveals more
packages. Methinks this issue is specific to Dario's setup...

Yes, that is true. But I tried on another testing+unstable system and still

apt-cache search urw | grep texlive

gives me nothing.

            

      
      
      
    

        
And mine might also be kind of strange :-). Oh well.
