[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

I restarted my system after a few weeks of uptime and now my LaTeX files
no longer compile: I get the error

kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+437/600 --dpi 1037 umvs
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for umvs.
mktexpk: perhaps umvs is missing from the map file.

However it does work when I call

guix shell texlive -- pdflatex -shell-escape file.tex

My manifest contains as tex-relevant packages:

  "font-tex-gyre"

  "texinfo"
  "texlive"
  "texlive-ae"
  "texlive-amsfonts"
  "texlive-bin"
  "texlive-charter"
  "texlive-cm-super"
  "texlive-fontinst"
  "texlive-ec"
  "texlive-iwona"
  "texlive-latex-fonts"
  "texlive-rsfs"
  "texlive-inconsolata"
  "texlive-mdwtools"
  "texlive-ms"
  "texlive-polyglossia"
  "texlive-titlesec"
  "texlive-lh"
  "texlive-metafont"
  "texlive-mflogo"
  "texlive-mflogo-font"
  "texlive-palatino"
  "texlive-hyphen-complete"
  "texlive-times"
  "texlive-txfonts"
  "texlive-zapfding"


Best wishes,
Arne

This setup is not correct, as you're mixing monolithic package
(`texlive') and an incomplete modular system (`texlive-*').

According to the manual, if you want to use modular TeX Live, you need
to provide at least a scheme or a collection, such as
`texlive-scheme-basic'.  You should also remove `texlive'.

Does it work if you update your manifest?
