Helvetica is missing

This is the “! I can't find file `Helvetica'.” error, mainly due to the fact Helvetica is a proprietary font and thus potentially not installed on your OS.

However, you can select the name of the default font you do want to use by updating the latex/config.yml file and changing:

• the default entry to change the font for all books
• changing/adding a font entry in your language of choice

For example:

fr:
  font: Verdana

For Ubuntu,The solution is:

Edit latex/config.yml,used fonts: Ubuntu for normal text and DejaVu Sans Mono for monospace
For example:

default:
  font: Ubuntu
  bold: "{* Bold}"
  mono: DejaVu Sans Mono
  prechap: "Chapter "
  postchap: ""
  presect: "Section "
  postsect: ""
  dql: "“"
  dqr: "”"
  con: "Contents"
  fig: "Figure "
  tab: "Table "
  indent: "\\qquad"
