ttfonts.map not in zhmetrics

[u-fischer]

• I have read the MiKTeX Contributing Guidelines

If one (or some driver) tries to use ttfonts.map and this is not found, the on-the-fly installation tries to install zhmetrics. But zhmetrics doesn't contain ttfonts.map.

See also https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/487857/iguanatex-ttfonts-map-missing

I had a ttfonts.map, but don't know which package did install it, for the test I renamed it:

\documentclass{book}
\pdfmapfile{=ttfonts.map}
\begin{document}
ccc
\end{document}

After installing the package: ttfonts.map is installed here:

C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\fonts\map\ttf2pk\

This is the source:

http://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/psfonts/zhmetrics/fonts/map/ttf2pk/ttfonts.map

Yes, that where my version is too. I don't know why the OP on tex.sx seems to be missing the map-file (and why it is used at all) and will try to find it out, but why does a missing map triggers the installation of zhmetrics which doesn't contain the map?

Hi,u-fischer(I assume you are the same person on SE),I asked it on LatexSE and lost the password.So I am posting my reply here.

I don't have MikTex installed on that directory.According to MikTex Log
LinkTargetDirectory:C\User\Username\Appdata\Local\Programs\MikTex 2.9\miktex\bin\×64
Root0:C\User\Username\Appdata\Roaming\MikTex\2.9
Root1:C\User\Username\Appdata\Local\Miktex\2.9
Root2:C\User\Username\Appdata\Local\Programs\MikTex\2.9
Root3:C\ProgramData\Miktrx 2.9
Root4:C\ProgramFiles\Miktex 2.9
UserInstall C\User\Username\Appdata\Local\Programs\Miktex 2.9

I could not understand your first comment on SE also there is nothing in Root4.The console .exe runs from Appdata\Local. A similar issue is here sympy/sympy#12669

Edit.Sorry for my ignorance.The issue is resolved.I was wrong to say that zhmetrics is installed,actually it was not.I installed it from the miktex console and everything works fine.

If you have a single user miktex installation look for the map in C:\User\Username\Appdata\Local\Programs\MikTex 2.9\fonts\map\ttf2pk. Beside this, this here is not the right place for a discussion. If you lost your access to tex.sx create a new one and then flag a moderator so that they merge the accounts. Then you can edit your original question.

It seems that TL does not install this file (for a reason?), so I will remove it from the MiKTeX zhmetrics package.
