Problem with XeTeX (LaTeX) and system fonts
- by mghg
I have started to use an enterprise specific class for LaTeX, but have got a problem with usage system fonts in Ubuntu. The class uses the fontspec package, I have therefore been instructed to use XeTeX (i.e. the command xelatex instead of latex or pdflatex). However, the command xelatex testfile.tex results in the following message:
! Package xkeyval Error: `TeX' undefined in families `Ligatures'.
See the xkeyval package documentation for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...
l.61 \newfontfamily\headfont{Arial}
?
The class has previously been used on Mac and Windows and the font setup is as follows:
\newfontfamily\headfont{Arial}
\newcommand\texthead[1]{\headfont #1}
\setromanfont{Georgia}
\setmainfont{Georgia}
\setsansfont[Scale=MatchLowercase]{Verdana}
It has been suggested that since XeTeX makes use of system fonts and the class file has worked flawlessly on Mac and Windows, the problem might be that Arial is not a name used in Ubuntu. I have tried to exchange Arial with Ubuntu Light in the setup code above, but that have not been any improvement.
Any suggestions please on how to move forward?
