Apart from the standard output, please provide a minimal working example (MWE), and the versions of both your macOS and installed ctex bundle.

font Kaiti.ttc can be found in /System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_Font6/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.asset/AssetData/Kaiti.ttc

Liam0205 · 2020-09-17T12:23:37Z

This is a known issue. The system detecting feature of CTeX fails in MikTeX, on both macOS & Linux.

Specifying fontset = mac solves this problem.

wenxingguo · 2020-09-17T12:38:30Z

It really does not work, but I solve this problem by moving the Kaiti.ttc to /Library/Fonts. It seems that the fc-list program cannot find fonts in non-standard path.

@wenxingguo
Does running sudo tlmgr conf texmf OSFONTDIR /System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_Font6 help?

@wenxingguo
Does running sudo tlmgr conf texmf OSFONTDIR /System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_Font6 help?

Miktex manages packages through mpm, not tlmgr.

Well, specifying fontset = mac also relays on the broken mechanism, sorry for that.

Try fontset = macnew instead.

I use this method to make it work.

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/MiKTeX/texmfs/config/fontconfig/config/localfonts2.conf file, add /System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_Font6 to it.

gaotongsh · 2021-04-17T11:44:33Z

I use this method to make it work.

Edit /Users/lzc/Library/Application Support/MiKTeX/texmfs/config/fontconfig/config/localfonts2.conf file, add /System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_Font6 to it.

This also did the trick for me. I think we should add this to an FAQ or wiki page for all those MikTeX users on Mac.

talengu · 2021-12-04T09:33:00Z

macOS 12.0.1 Kaiti.ttc may in this path

/System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_Font7

/Users/lzc/Library/Application Support/MiKTeX/texmfs/config/fontconfig/config/localfonts2.conf

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<fontconfig>
<dir>/System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_Font7</dir>
</fontconfig>

Then work OK 😸
Thanks!

reisenmiao · 2022-06-06T09:01:14Z

open the Pages once. It will install Kaiti into you font library.

rami3l · 2022-11-15T14:57:55Z

@talengu This post seems to have found a better path for such fonts that seems to be consistent for longer:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<fontconfig>
<dir>/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FontServices.framework/Resources/Fonts</dir>
</fontconfig>
