--- Begin Message ---Package: texlive Version: 2007-12 Severity: normal When trying to compile the given input file by means of pdflatex it fails every time. Giving me this error: ! pdfTeX error (font expansion): auto expansion is only possible with scalable fonts. Removing the \sffamily directive of the advisespace environment seems to alleviate this problem. Commenting out the \usepackage directive for microtype or mathdesign also allows pdflatex to compile the input file properly. Then lastly this only seems to apply to "long" lines (i.e. lines being wider than the hbox). ################################## minimal input file \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article} \usepackage[charter]{mathdesign} \usepackage{microtype} \begin{document} \begin{itemize} % Example 1 % If this line is uncommented pdflatex fails % \item \sffamily{Aren't the values a bit farfetched?

--- Begin Message ---Hi Giel, I am closing this bug, because the error message clearly states that what you are doing cannot work: > ! pdfTeX error (font expansion): auto expansion is only possible with > scalable fonts. If you load microtype it will try to do font expansion. But you are using OT1 encoded sffamily which is cmss (AFAIR) which is a bitmapped font. That cannot work. You have to set up your fonts in a way that all the fonts (or all the fonts treated by microtype) are type1 fonts. Please consult the manual of microtype as shipped with the packages. Thanks. > Then lastly this only seems to apply to "long" lines (i.e. lines being > wider than the hbox). Yes of course, because in this case microtype tries to use the advanced features of pdftex of automatic font expansion/shrinking. But as I said, this only works with type1 fonts.
