Conversion of existing documentation to LaTeX sources #438

Closed GLS-SSV closed 6 months ago

jarmonik commented 6 months ago

I tried to build the documentation but ran into some problems. The used font "NotoSansMono" doesn't seem to work. I found one from the internet but it refuses to install. Is there something special about the font that makes it better ? Or would it be practical to change to a more common font ?

I renamed the font from common_definitions.tex to "Calibri" and I was able to build Technical Reference and Developer Manual but Orbiter User Manual fails to build with following error:

!pdfTeX error: pdflatex.exe (file fstr8x): Font fstr8x at 624 not found ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

Still no luck getting this to work. Looks like the "Noto" font is a part of MikTex installation and located in /MikTex/fonts/truetype/google/noto/ But why doesn't it use it ? I am trying to build the documentation with TeXnicCenter.

Is anyone else able to edit and review the documentation locally ?
