LaTeX Error: File `type1cm.sty' not found

Question

I need to export a figure from matplotlib without type 3 fonts on MacOS. I found that I have to set the following rc parameters:

    matplotlib.rcParams['pdf.fonttype'] = 42
    matplotlib.rcParams['ps.fonttype'] = 42

However, the legend of my plot still remains a type 3 font

Therefore I tried

    matplotlib.rcParams['ps.useafm'] = True
    matplotlib.rcParams['pdf.use14corefonts'] = True
    matplotlib.rcParams['text.usetex'] = True

Unfortunately, this produces the following error message

    RuntimeError: latex was not able to process the following string: b'lp'

I installed latex via macports (as proposed in this thread) with

sudo port install texlive texlive-latex-extra

however, the problem still remains.

After the latex installation and rebooting my system I receive the following error

    RuntimeError: latex was not able to process the following string:

Can anybody please help me?

Answer 1

You seem to be missing a latex package (type1cm). This might not have been part of the texlive or texlive-latex-extra packages that you already installed. Try to install texlive-type1cm using sudo port install texlive-type1cm which should provide the missing package.

Answer 2

Try installing both 'texlive-latex-extra' and 'cm-super'
