STIX 1.1.1 fails to compile in pdflatex

[cnruster]

The tex system I use is MiKTeX 2.9. I am not interested in STIX 2, as it is no longer a Times New Roman font. I love STIX 1 font.

I downloaded the ZIP file from GitHub. I tried three ways to install STIX 1.1.1

1) Installing the opentype files in Windows 7.

This has been very successful. Then I tried to use the font in xelatex. The commands I use in the latex file is:

\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{STIX}

The compilation was also successful. It was only that the SmallCaps is not supported. And I figured that it might become perfect if I use STIX in ordinary latex or pdflatex. So I continued to try the following:

2) Installing STIX from MiKTeX package

It turns out that MiKTeX 2.9 itself contains STIX 1 and 2. And I installed the relevant packages. And I added the following line into my latex file: \usepackage{STIX}

But the compilation fails, for all of latex, pdflatex, lualatex, xelatex.

3) Installing STIX 1.1.1 from the directory STIXv1.1.1\Fonts\stix-tds in the ZIP file

I copied all the files into my latex system according to the TDS structure, but the compilation still fails.

The latex file is very simple:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{stix}
\begin{document}
Some text, and a math formula.
\end{document}

And the error message is the following: Command Line: pdflatex.exe --interaction=errorstopmode --synctex=-1 "stix.tex" Startup Folder: D:\Academic\TexFiles

Sorry, but miktex-makemf did not succeed for the following reason:

The t1-stixgeneral source file could not be found.

The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:

In the STIXv1.1.1\Fonts\stix-tds directory, there are enc, map, otf, pl, tfm, pfb, vf files, but there are no afm, pfa files. Is that the problem? And I also noted that there are only 6 vf files.

Update:

The simple latex file given above can be compiled successfully by latex, and a DVI file is obtained. But it is only latex that can succeed.

Then I tried to make pdf by running dvipdfm. And again there is error. The error message:

This is a question for the MikTeX community. It sounds like you need to complete the installation process by updating the font maps. In TeXLive, this would be done by running updmap or updmap-sys, but I don't know the details for MikTeX.
