I can't see a pdflatex package on my Karmic Koala: # apt-get install pdflatex Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package pdflatex so unless you're getting it from another repository... I suspect you did something else, probably got it from the texlive-latex-base package... # dpkg-query -S `which pdflatex` texlive-latex-base: /usr/bin/pdflatex Hmmm. Anyway, there's a bunch of font-related packages in there and maybe you missed one or two. Here's the packages that match 'texlive' and those that match 'tex' and 'font' on my system: # dpkg-query -W | grep texlive texlive 2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu1 texlive-base 2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu1 texlive-base-bin 2007.dfsg.2-7ubuntu1 texlive-common 2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu1 texlive-doc-base 2007.dfsg.2-2 texlive-extra-utils 2007.dfsg.2-7ubuntu1 texlive-font-utils 2007.dfsg.2-7ubuntu1 texlive-fonts-recommended 2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu1 texlive-generic-recommended 2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu1 texlive-latex-base 2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu1 texlive-latex-extra 2007.dfsg.17-2ubuntu1 texlive-latex-recommended 2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu1 texlive-math-extra 2007.dfsg.17-2ubuntu1 texlive-pictures 2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu1 texlive-pstricks 2007.dfsg.17-2ubuntu1 texlive-science 2007.dfsg.17-2ubuntu1 # dpkg-query -W | grep tex| grep font latex-xft-fonts 0.1-8 texlive-font-utils 2007.dfsg.2-7ubuntu1 texlive-fonts-recommended 2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu1 I've not seen any problems with PDF creation on the packages I've built, but maybe I'd have the same trouble. Anyway, above should help you see if your latex installation is comparable to mine or to any other install!
