TexLive versus  Miktex

Both of them are based on Tex.

(Mactex is wrapper on TexLive distribution of Tex and opens to Mac system, while Miktex is for Windows system.)

 

In recent versions, the differences between MiKTeX and TeX Live have narrowed, Package coverage between the two is similar.

  • Only MiKTeX can do ‘on the fly‘ package installation and focus on Windows system, as TeX Live is more focussed on having a system that works well on multi-user systems and multi-platforms.

  • Faster compilation (especially in case of graphics files)

Issues (keep updating)

1.  Why choose ‘smaller basictex‘?

Pros: It is smaller (only approximately 78M) than standard version (approximately 3.2G)

Cons: However, smaller basictex only have basic Tex environment, many others useful packages (fonts for IEEE Trans) don‘t in it and need to be install manually.

E.g. : Missing ‘pplr7t‘ font file, I cannot find file ‘pplr7t‘

Refer to :

 

2. How to install extra fonts?

At first, you should find which package includes this font, so how to know it?

Using ‘tlmgr‘ (after install mactex, we will have it)

tlmgr --help

 

sudo tlmgr search --global --file pplr7t

 It shows that: file ‘pplr7t‘ is in ‘palatino‘ package, so I need to install palatino package. How to install package?

sudo tlmgr install palatino

 [tex-live] Missing fonts in BasicTex for Mac
