How to load this module#

$ module load texlive/2025

Note

to make TeX Live-provided fonts available as system fonts (for use with XeteX and LuaTeX) there is an additional configuration step. First, users should copy the 09-texlive.conf file to their home directory, using:

$ mkdir ~/.fonts.conf.d && cp /opt/apps/pkg/tools/texlive/2025/texmf-var/fonts/conf/texlive-fontconfig.conf ~/.fonts.conf.d/09-texlive.conf

This first step only needs to be done once. Then, to store the fonts in the system cache, run:

$ fc-cache -fv
