make -C doc latexpdf Fails

[rickhg12hs]

Recent changes break the latexpdf build.

After fixing the sed -i bak <other stuff> command to sed -ibak <other stuff>, then I get errors that the font "Times" cannot be found. I have the full TexLive 2014 install on Fedora 19 Linux.

Seems to be related to #8479

Seems like you use a incompatible version of sed. I think there was some trouble with in-place substitution with sed last time I tried.

[rickhg12hs]

My sed.

$ sed --help
Usage: sed [OPTION]... {script-only-if-no-other-script} [input-file]...

  -n, --quiet, --silent
                 suppress automatic printing of pattern space
  -e script, --expression=script
                 add the script to the commands to be executed
  -f script-file, --file=script-file
                 add the contents of script-file to the commands to be executed
  --follow-symlinks
                 follow symlinks when processing in place
  -i[SUFFIX], --in-place[=SUFFIX]
                 edit files in place (makes backup if SUFFIX supplied)
  -c, --copy
                 use copy instead of rename when shuffling files in -i mode
  -l N, --line-length=N
                 specify the desired line-wrap length for the `l' command
  --posix
                 disable all GNU extensions.
  -r, --regexp-extended
                 use extended regular expressions in the script.
  -s, --separate
                 consider files as separate rather than as a single continuous
                 long stream.
  -u, --unbuffered
                 load minimal amounts of data from the input files and flush
                 the output buffers more often
  -z, --null-data
                 separate lines by NUL characters
      --help     display this help and exit
      --version  output version information and exit

If no -e, --expression, -f, or --file option is given, then the first
non-option argument is taken as the sed script to interpret.  All
remaining arguments are names of input files; if no input files are
specified, then the standard input is read.

#8479 was merged to get the help for Unicode tab-completion in HTML format. Unfortunately this breaks the PDF build because I have no idea how to get any of pdflatex, xetex or luatex to compile a document with all the Unicode characters without complaining. I'm really stuck.

[jiahao]

Regarding Times, try changing doc/conf.py:203 to a different font and see what works for you.

[rickhg12hs]

Yeah, I can find fonts that work. I wonder how this could work for everybody, taking into account the fonts they have. Or could fonts be part of the source distro?

[jiahao]

We should probably restrict ourselves (if possible) to standard fonts included in any reasonably complete and modern TeX distribution. I thought Times was one such font, but apparently not.

Seems like you use a incompatible version of sed. I think there was some trouble with in-place substitution with sed last time I tried.

OSX is the outlier, forces you to use an extension for in-place sed. But the space between -i and the extension is nonstandard.

[ivarne]

sed -ibak '/graphicx/d' _build/latex/sphinx.sty without space seems to work on OSX also. Should we just remove the space?

[tkelman]

Should we just remove the space?

Yes.
