use TinyTex with texPreview?
jrosen48 opened this issue · 9 comments
Thanks for a great package! I am trying to use {texPreview} with the {tinytex} R package/LaTeX installation, and - perhaps as you might guess - seem to be running into some issues. Do you recommend that I stick with MiKTeX? Am I missing something highly obvious?
what error are you getting? can you it reprex incl sessioninfo ?
Sorry, should have done that to begin.

Ah thanks. In addition to standalone, also had to install:
- varwidth
- xcolor
- colortbl
- multirow
This seemed to work until I got to:
- helvet
This seemed to require installing GnuPG, but, that didn't seem to do the trick:
(base) MBP:~ joshuarosenberg$ tlmgr install helvet
tlmgr: package repository http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet (verified)
tlmgr install: package helvet not present in repository.
tlmgr: action install returned an error; continuing.
tlmgr: An error has occurred. See above messages. Exiting.
Sorry, I know this isn't related to the package. Any ideas?
The helvet package is part of the psnfss package, so you need to run tlmgr install psnfss and it should work.
I think you can install fonts-extra and things should work out.
sudo apt-get install -y texlive-base texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-fonts-extra
Which is basically how we got the container on travis to work for testing.
Hi all, thanks.
Regarding psnfss (@andrewheiss), thanks, that worked.
After that, I seemed to also have to install:
listings
setspace
After installing those, I tried again, but different issue seemed to emerge...

Regarding installing fonts-extra (@yonicd), is there a comparable brew command (is apt-get available for macos users? sorry for my ignorance w/r/t the issues here ... it is great and vast and I appreciate your help).
no problem. sorry that getting this to work on your system has been so hard :(.
you can replace apt-get install with tlmgr install.
re that error. can you check what version of imagemagick you have installed? convert -version you may need to update that installation and reinstall the {magick}
You can do fonts-extra with tlmgr install collection-fontsextra, but I don't think you need it. It installs like a billion extra fonts, and I cancelled it early (it had made it to the Bs in the alphabet after a long while)
