I have figured out that I need CMU fonts to be able to typeset Russian text with XeLaTeX. Under NixOS there is cm-unicode
package for it, I have installed it with
nix-env -iA nixos.cm_unicode
but XeLaTeX still cannot find it. A LaTeX file that I can compile with XeLaTeX on Ubuntu does not compile with XeLaTeX on NixOS, and I get an error that the CMU font that I indicated was not found.
I've learned that I could list all fonts installed on the system with fc-list
, so I tried running fc-list | grep -i cmu
, fc-list | grep -i com
, fc-list | grep -i unic
, but got no results.
How can I get this font installed? This is for NixOS 17.09.
By the way, I have already had to manually install Latin Modern font: it was initially not available for selection in XeLaTeX, but after I installed lmodern
package with nix-env -i
, it works fine.
I have just tested this again: uninstalling lmodern
with nix-env -e
removes Latin Modern from the results of fc-list
and from font-manager
, and installing with nix-env -i
restores it. The same does not work the same with cm_unicode
.
I have a possibly related question, so I'll put it here. (If it turns out that it is not related, I would appreciate a short comment or explanation.)
I wanted to define my TeX Live environment with all its dependencies in my .nixpkgs/config.nix
, so I did
# .nixpkgs/config.nix
{ # ...
packageOverrides = pkgs: {
myTexLive = pkgs.texlive.combine {
inherit (pkgs.texlive) scheme-basic
collection-bibtexextra
collection-fontsrecommended
collection-genericrecommended
collection-langcyrillic
collection-langfrench
collection-latex
collection-latexextra
collection-latexrecommended
collection-mathextra
collection-xetex
cm-unicode # from `collection-fontsextra`
latexmk
lm # from `collection-fontsrecommended`
lm-math # from `collection-fontsrecommended`
texdoc;
};
}
I was hoping that having lm
and cm-unicode
TeX Live packages would be enough to have the Latin Modern and CMU fonts install, but it did not work.
Is there any way to declare the necessary fonts as dependencies of myTexLive
?
