Error trying to reproduce example.qmd on windows

[yannickmorvan]

Hi,

First, thank you very much for the valuable work you are doing with this extension.

I had trouble generating the PDF example with Windows following your tutorial on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ0WJMHGDps

Found the issue and thought this might be helpful (first time suggesting help on Github, hope I am not out of scope)

Best,

Yannick

Description

Followed the tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ0WJMHGDps and click RENDER on Windows.

1. ERROR MESSAGE

   luaotfload | db : Reload initiated (formats: otf,ttf,ttc); reason: Font "Palatino" not found. luaotfload | resolve : sequence of 3 lookups yielded nothing appropriate. updating tlmgr

"it looks like you got the template from a Mac user while you are on Windows. The fontnames are different there. Instead of Palatino you could use Palatino Linotype."

3. SOLUTION STEP 1

in _extensions\nmfs-opensci\titlepage Opened coverpage-theme.lua Replace line 235 ["title-fontfamily"] = "Palatino" & ["footer-fontfamily"] = "Palatino" BY ["title-fontfamily"] = "Palatino Linotype" & ["footer-fontfamily"] = "Palatino Linotype"

4. NEW ERROR MESSAGE

updating existing packages finding package for tex/copyright.tex

compilation failed- no matching packages LaTeX Error: File `tex/copyright.tex' not found.

l.269 \input{tex/copyright.tex}

5. SOLUTION STEP 2

Delete from example.qmd line 45 to 48

coverpage-include-file:
  - tex/copyright.tex
titlepage-include-file:
  - tex/dedication.tex

AND IT WORKS !

Thank you!

Fonts will be the death of me. I think may need to include a font file in order to ensure that any fonts I use in demos will actually work across operating systems.

Regarding error 2. I will add a note to example qmd that the user should delete this if they don't have these tex files.

You're more than welcome! Looking forward to try titlepage within a project ( _quarto.yml and multiple .qmd files). Again many thanks for this very nice extension !
