Insufficient symbol fonts

Insufficient symbol fonts

[Eckhart Guthöhrlein]

Hi,

preparing a presentation, I am into errors like

! Math formula deleted: Insufficient symbol fonts.
l.67                    \symbol[psi]\low{\tfx{\it i\/}+1} $-$
                                             120,

again and again.
Admittedly, my font knowledge is probably the worst of my tex skills.

Is there a way to increase the number of available symbol fonts? A quick
hack would do, since I am kind of under pressure...

Thanks,
Eckhart

this is an indication that you use a font in math mode that is not really a valid tex math font 

what is your font setup?

Hi Eckhart,

TeX cannot find the math fonts that are defined by the presentation
style. There should be another error before this one, complaining
about missing font metrics.

The easiest fix is probably to make the presentation use
computer modern for math typesetting (?)

In the output of 'texexec x >log 2>&1', there is nothing about metrics.
The only messages concerning fonts are:

bodyfont        : 12pt rm is loaded
...
fonts           : resetting map file list
fonts           : using map file: original-base
fonts           : using map file: ec-public-lm
fonts           : using map file: ec-base
fonts           : using map file: original-ams-base
fonts           : using map file: original-public-lm

It does use cm, as far as I can see. I frequently use the \text command
to get sans serif, since I don't have time and energy to figure out how
to switch the default math fonts. (Ugly, I know...)

Commands relevant to font setup in my environment:

\setupbodyfont[17.28pt,sans]

Nothing special, I think.
Then I have some definitions like

\definesymbol[alpha][\getglyph{cmmi10}{11}]
\definesymbol[beta][\getglyph{cmmi10}{12}]

because I intended to take these from a different (upright version) font
in the future. Can this be the problem?

precede this with: \definebodyfontenvironment[17.28pt]

Whatever this does, it does not remove the complaints about insufficient
symbol fonts :-(
