Hi! I have installed TeXLive 2026 on my laptop, running FreeBSD 15.0 RELEASE, using the install.tl script. `tex --version` spits out the requisite digits of pi. However, when I try and actually compile any LaTeX document, I get an error of the form > /usr/local/texlive/2026/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/bk11.clointernal error; cannot read font names This persists on both article and book doc classes. The custom texlive.profile that I used is as follows > binary_amd64-freebsd 1 > collection-basic 1 > collection-bibtexextra 1 > collection-binextra 1 > collection-context 1 > collection-fontutils 1 > collection-formatsextra 1 > collection-langother 1 > collection-latex 1 > collection-latexrecommended 1 > collection-mathscience 1 > collection-metapost 1 > collection-pictures 1 > collection-plaingeneric 1 > collection-xetex 1 > instopt_adjustpath 0 > instopt_adjustrepo 1 > instopt_letter 0 > instopt_portable 0 > instopt_write18_restricted 1 > tlpdbopt_autobackup 1 > tlpdbopt_backupdir tlpkg/backups > tlpdbopt_create_formats 1 > tlpdbopt_desktop_integration 1 > tlpdbopt_file_assocs 1 > tlpdbopt_generate_updmap 0 > tlpdbopt_install_docfiles 1 > tlpdbopt_install_srcfiles 1 > tlpdbopt_post_code 1 > tlpdbopt_sys_bin /usr/local/bin > tlpdbopt_sys_info /usr/local/share/info > tlpdbopt_sys_man /usr/local/share/man > tlpdbopt_w32_multi_user 1 Does anyone have any clue how to resolve this? I have already tried reinstalling texlive to no avail. Best, Riya
