[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello Guix,

Attached patch on top of version-1.4.0 attempts to typset PDF docs for the
metamath package. However, the below error results, which seems to indicate
that the Euler fonts are not found, despite texlive-amsfonts existing in the
texlive-updmap.cfg input.

    (/gnu/store/s952x1vkbbcprklzlzimn3m2dn53mjx9-texlive-amsfonts-59745/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsfonts/ueuf.fd)
    kpathsea: Running mktextfm eufm10
    mkdir: cannot create directory ?././homeless-shelter?: Permission denied
    mktextfm: mktexdir /homeless-shelter/.texlive2021/texmf-var/fonts/tfm/ams/euler failed.
    kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
    
    ! Font U/euf/m/n/10=eufm10 at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
    <to be read again>

Can you reproduce, or is this some simple PEBKAC error?

This is now fixed with commit 64fcf9508af318cc2d71811815cfbe99063867b1.

The cause: we generated the tfm files from afm and pl files in a
misguided attempt to build as many things from “source” as possible.
Turns out that this results in bad tfm files.  These files mere meant to
be installed just as they are included in the upstream bundle.

That’s what we’re doing now.
