Description pip 2020-11-27 16:26:51 UTC 
Description of problem:
In Fedora 33, xelatex/fontspec do not find any of the  'TeX Gyre *' fonts, but do find 'TeX Gyre * Math'. 
So any document that had, for example,
 \usepackage{fontspec}
 \setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{TeX Gyre Pagella}
will not compile.

In LyX, only the 'TeX Gyre * Math' fonts will be listed when 'Use non-TeX fonts' is enabled. This is a regression.

With lualatex/fontspec the fonts are found.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
texlive-base-20200327-18.fc33.x86_64
texlive-tex-gyre-svn48058-32.fc33.noarch
texlive-tex-gyre-math-svn41264-32.fc33.noarch
texlive-fontspec-svn53860-32.fc33.noarch
texlive-xetex-20200327-18.fc33.x86_64


Steps to Reproduce:
save as tex file and run xelatex 

----
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{TeX Gyre Pagella}
\begin{document}
 Does not compile with xelatex. 
 Package fontspec Error: The font "TeX Gyre Pagella" cannot be found.
\end{document}

Comment 1 Tom "spot" Callaway 2020-12-07 18:23:43 UTC 
Like many things in TeX, this error message is confusing.

The issue is that when you are searching for font names (instead of filenames), the tooling looks for _system_ fonts. Which is somewhat ludicrous, but whatever.

The reason that the TeX Gyre * Math fonts work is because in texlive-tex-gyre-math I have a symlink between /usr/share/fonts/tex-gyre-math and /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre-math, so the OTF files show up in the system fonts list (as managed by fontconfig).

The reason that I do not have the same symlink in the texlive-tex-gyre package is because some of the TeX Gyre fonts are packaged separately in Fedora. Specifically, "Heros" (lilypond-texgyre-heros-fonts), "Cursor" (lilypond-texgyre-cursor-fonts), and "Schola" (lilypond-texgyre-schola-fonts). For most fonts in Fedora, this would result in a conflict between a directory and a symlink, which is bad... but in this case, because the system fonts are under /usr/share/fonts/lilypad/ ... we can dodge the issue by making the symlink in a location that does not conflict, and it resolves the issue:

   sudo ln -s /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre /usr/share/fonts/tex-gyre

I will make an update that fixes this, but you can manually create the symlink using the command above as a workaround in the interim.

Yeah, another weird decision to force people do what machines could.

This worked, thanks a lot!
