Background



I cannot seem to find a solution that works and sufficiently explains what I need to do.



I do not use Latex much, so please explain as if I don't know how Latex works, because that's mostly true.



When I build a Latex file (using TeXStudio to generate PDFs, but I've also used other Tex IDEs), a gigantic log file is always created. The logfile itself is > 5 MB!!



The reason for this is a myriad of warnings captured in the log file like this (I have a Mac, if it matters):



/Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex (file /usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map): fontmap entry for `ts1-zi4nr' already exists, duplicates ignored


Duplicates are ignored, the document compiles, but these warnings are so tiresome and tedious.



Attempts to Date



So, I looked into updmap and ran



updmap-user --listmaps


There are many maps (approx. 200), but they are all located in one file:



/usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg


So I cannot delete that file, obviously, since it contains all the fonts.





After first trying to find an easy way to suppress all errors, and ineffectively using hbadness=10000 to suppress them, I've just tried to ignore these senseless errors for months. But it slows down any progress I need to do any time I need to go back and touch Latex.



Please help, as I'm about to give up on Latex and go back to RevealJS, which cannot really do the job as well as Latex, for my purposes.

I'm not sure how helpful this will be to other users, but the problem was that everything that LaTeX installed had the wrong file permissions.



I needed to go to all of the files installed under /usr/local/texlive/2018 (which was the default location for my Mac OS install) and change them all to be writeable.



It had nothing to do with duplicate files, despite the error that claimed as such.





If anyone else runs into a similar error, be sure to check updmap-sys, or really any updmap command, since they will all point you to where your fonts actually live. Then go ahead and fix all of their permissions.
