Did we encounter this issue before? I have an idea, but I haven=E2=80=99t been able to fix this. This problem = has been around since the early days of using texlive-union. It seems to me that the TeX Live tools don=E2=80=99t know that the fonts are available. T= his is surprising because as far as I understand =E2=80=99texlive-union=E2=80= =99 sets up all required environment variables and configuration files. I discussed this with Andreas many months ago and thought that we had pinned down the problem, but it turned out to be a dead end. The idea was to just set up more variables as the big texlive package does, but I wasn=E2=80=99t able to convince the tools that they don=E2=80=99t need to r= ebuild the fonts in HOME. For other packages I was able to ignore this problem by setting HOME to /tmp so that the tools can build the fonts cache as needed. --=20 Ricardo
