pdfTeX error (font expansion): auto expansion is only possible with scalable fonts.

[evildead]

Hello,

I tried to use your eisvogel latex template (v1.3.0):
> pandoc myMDDocument.md -o myPdf.pdf --from markdown --template "./eisvogel.latex" --listings

and I always get the following error:

Error producing PDF.
! pdfTeX error (font expansion): auto expansion is only possible with scalable
fonts.
\AtBegShi@Output ...ipout \box \AtBeginShipoutBox
                                                  \fi \fi
l.643 \begin{lstlisting}

what can I do?

I assume that you are using Windows with MiKTeX because I have experienced the same problem a while back. Please use the suggested solution from here:

To solve the problem navigate to C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\x64 and run updmap.exe. The program may seem as it hangs for a while, but its probably because it tries to update the whole font tree. This solved the problem for me. After re-compiling everything should work fine.

You were completely right man @Wandmalfarbe
Thank you sooo much, it worked perfectly.

Best Regards
Danilo

Hey, I have the same Problem:

pandoc --template eisvogel --listings -f gfm -o mypdf.pdf mymarkdown.md

Error producing PDF.
! pdfTeX error (font expansion): auto expansion is only possible with scalable 
fonts.
<argument> ...shipout:D \box_use:N \l_shipout_box 
                                                  
l.493 \end{document}

But I use manjaro Linux.

@fkoch-tgm , I don't think you have the same problem -- your error message is different.

I got the same error message as you (running Debian GNU/Linux 11), and the solution was to install the texlive-full package (as mentioned in README.md) -- for Manjaro, this guide might help.
