Upgrading from MikTeX 2.4 to 2.6 in Windows XP worked without a problem. A clean install (Full) on Windows Vista produces many errors when running PDFLaTeX on some files. These files compile fine with MikTeX 2.6 running on Windows XP. After days of trying to figure out the problem, searching the Web, and not being much of an expert on Fonts, I am giving up and hoping that someone can help me. Here is what I get when trying to PDFLaTeX one of my files: This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (MiKTeX 2.6) entering extended mode (companiontext.tex LaTeX2e <2005/12/01> Babel <v3.8g> and hyphenation patterns for english, dumylang, nohyphenation, ge rman, ngerman, french, loaded.

If so, you might try reinstalling CJK via the MiKTeX package manager. Otherwise, it looks like you have a commercial font in your localtexmf directory that you forgot to add to MiKTeX's font map when you upgraded, or that you're trying to use font that you don't actually have installed. Assuming the former, got to localtexmf\fonts\map\dvips and look for a .map file the corresponds to this font (sorry, there's no way for me to know what it might be called, but if you look inside it should contain plenty of references starting with "hv"), where "localtexmf" is the TeX root where the font is installed. Once you know the name of the .map file, open the MiKTeX Manual (which you can find on the Start menu in the MiKTeX 2.6 Help folder) and follow the instructions under "Managing Font Map Files". If the problem is that you don't actually have the font installed, well, then there's nothing you can do except obtain the font and install it or switch to a different font. Since you have a working installation and a non-working one, you might try comparing the two to see what's missing from the non-working one. If everything is the same on both machines I would suspect a Vista issue, but since I don't have Vista I couldn't possibly speculate on the problem. Alan |
