安装 TeXLive

TeXLive 对于我来说是必须要安装的.

sudo pacman -S texlive-most
sudo pacman -S texlive-langcjk

安装过程中显示

texlive-core 的可选依赖
    perl: for many useful tools
    ruby: for old ConTeXT MkII and epspdf
    tk: for texdoctk
    python2: for dviasm
    ghostscript: for epstopdf, epspdf and other ConTeXt tools
    psutils: to manipulate the output of dvips
    t1utils: can be useful when installing Type1 fonts

一般 perl, python2 ghostscript 已经安装, 可以用 pacman 安装其他的软件包.

texlive-most 中包含了下面这么多宏包()

pacman -Q -l texlive-core
列出texlive-core 所安装的位置. 默认安装在 /usr/share/texmf-dist/...

安装完成, 可以测试一下, 将下面的代码保存为 test.tex, 然后运行 xelatex test, 即可生成 pdf 文件.

\documentclass{ctexart}

\begin{document}
Hello, haifeng!

# 你好!
\end{document}

如果只有英文, 则是没有问题的. 但是要排版中文, 则很可能会出现下面的提示:

kpathsea: Running mktexmf SimSun
! I can't find file `SimSun'.
<*> ...:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input SimSun

Please type another input file name
! Emergency stop.
<*> ...:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input SimSun

Transcript written on mfput.log.
grep: SimSun.log: 没有那个文件或目录
mktextfm: `mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input SimSun' failed to make SimSun.tfm.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!
! fontspec error: "font-not-found"
!
! The font "SimSun" cannot be found.
!
! See the fontspec documentation for further information.

! For immediate help type H .
!...............................................

此时, 按 x 退出.

解决办法参考安装字体一文, 主要是修改 /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/ctex/fontset/ 下面的几个文件.
