To install the Luximono font: On a mac, it seems to work to just do the following magic command sudo getnonfreefonts-sys --all --force which installs this and many other fonts. On cygwin with tetex (it already works under Miktex) you unzip ul9.zip into /usr/share/texmf (preserving directories). (I found it didn't work to put it in ~/.texmf.) Then you need to add the following lines to the (end of) /usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg: # Luximono Map ul9.map You also have to move the file that lands in /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ul9.map to /usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/ mv /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ul9.map /usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/ I also copied the files from my miktex/fonts/type1/public/luxi directory to /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/luxi/ mkdir /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/luxi/ cd $HOME/miktex/fonts/type1/public/luxi cp * /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/luxi/ I think then you just rebuild the systems files (texhash and then updmap) and it should work.
