Hello!
I think the right fix is to use fonts from Tectonic bundles, as that will make your document reproducible and make the warnings disappear. Which brings us to:
Tectonic can download any file from CTAN. Or more precisely, Tectonic has a concept of bundles which are snapshots of the yearly releases of TeX Live (like 2022, 2023, 2024), which include almost everything on CTAN (only excluding some packages with licensing issues). This includes fonts as well. However, with fonts it's a bit more tricky as there are actually two ways it is possible to ask "TeX" for a font: by font file name (e.g. I think using font file names is a better approach for more reasons other than the fact that font names are not supported well in Tectonic. I have an example and more details in #965 (comment). The issue about not being able to find fonts by font names in bundles is #9.
In case of It actually seems that the If you have more questions, please include a MWE. MWE gives better chance of reproducing problems and also gives a chance to suggest a fix for your particular use case. In this case for example, I don't know what exact fonts you are trying to use, and thus don't know if you need to adjust the way you use the |

That sounds accurate to me - Note that like in #965 (comment), something more elaborate would be required to properly set the fonts including all the styles (bold, etc.) when using file names, e.g.: \documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setromanfont{SourceSerifPro}[
Extension = .otf,
UprightFont = *-Regular,
BoldFont = *-Bold,
ItalicFont = *-RegularIt,
BoldItalicFont = *-BoldIt]
\setsansfont{NotoSans}[
Extension = .ttf,
UprightFont = *-Regular,
BoldFont = *-Bold,
ItalicFont = *-Italic,
BoldItalicFont = *-BoldItalic]
\setmonofont{SourceCodePro}[
Extension = .otf,
UprightFont = *-Regular,
BoldFont = *-Bold,
ItalicFont = *-RegularIt,
BoldItalicFont = *-BoldIt]
\begin{document}
\textrm{a} \textsf{b} \texttt{c}
\end{document}
I believe so, though I have to admit I didn't need to do that with Tectonic yet. If it doesn't work I believe it is a bug, as having the font file with the source code is the most reproducible way, other than the Tectonic bundles, certainly much better than using system fonts. Though recurring problem is: what if you have multiple documents, then having a copy of font per document is not convenient, if you don't have all the documents in one directory. I believe there has been recent progress in improving Tectonic's search paths, and that this actually now works much better. |

Another problem I ran into. I tried to run pgfplots with the externalize feature: \documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage[margin=0.5in]{geometry}
\pgfplotsset{width=10cm,compat=1.18}
\usepgfplotslibrary{external}
\tikzexternalize
\title{My Title}
\begin{document}
\section{Testing}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (0,0) -- (1,1);
\end{tikzpicture}I get the error |

TikZ externalize feature in the background launches externall processes, which is forbidden by default in all TeX engines. You need to enable the shell escape option, This is also discussed in #852. The full command line should also likely include However, there seems to be a second issue, also already known #852 (comment), i.e. TikZ tries to process the external figure with |

I included the font in my source as stated in #1095 and sure enough it worked! |

This was a fruitful discussion (atleast for me 😁) Now i can switch over to tectonic fulltime I think. Thank you for your help guys 🙏 |

Hello,
I tried messing around with tectonic and here are the things I have questions about.
\newfontfamily{font}I can access font installed on my system. It warns that using them will make the build system not reproducible. How do I fix this?pdfxto comply withpdf/a-3u. However, when I usepdfxwith tectonic it gives me the error thaterror: pdfx.sty:1285: Package pdfx Error: CreationDate is not properly supported; PDF validation may fail..How do I fix this?Beta Was this translation helpful?
