latex is driving me batty -- ! Package fontspec Error: The font "DejaVu Sans" cannot be found.

[Steven Smith]

Here’s the ports I have on a working system that provide the DejaVu fonts:

> locate DejaVuSansMono.ttf | egrep -e '^/opt/local' | xargs port provides | sed -E -e 's/^[^:]+:[[:space:]]//' | uniq
> py37-matplotlib
> dejavu-fonts
> texlive-fonts-extra

The port texlive-fonts-extra should install this file, and everything should work:

/opt/local/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/truetype/public/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf

The other two ports should be irrelevant.

The reinplace lines in the Portfile (below) should have removed all the spaces from this font name in the LaTeX file and added a “.ttf” to the find specification.

Did this happen? It doesn’t look like it from your LaTeX logs. Why isn’t there a .ttf? Which files are those? What happens if you go to ${worksrcpath}, edit the offending .tex file, and compile it by hand?
