# How to use LaTeX in Termux with custom fonts

1. Install TeX Live and dependences

```bash

# install texlive

apt install texlive

# install fontconfig-utils which includes `fc-list`

apt install fontconfig-utils

# change the remote repository to the mirror close to you 

tlmgr option repository https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet

# update tlmgr

tlmgr update --all

```

2. Install custom fonts

```bash

# make a new directory to store your custom fonts

CUSTOM_FONT_PATH="/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/share/fonts/YOUR_DIR_NAME"

mkdir -p "${CUSTOM_FONT_PATH}"

# copy fonts from somewhere else to the path of your custom fonts

cp [YOUR_FONTS_PATH/*] "${CUSTOM_FONT_PATH}"

chmod 744 "${CUSTOM_FONT_PATH}"/*

fc-cache -f -v

# better to export the path in ~/.bashrc

export OSFONTDIR="/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/share/fonts"

# add the font Fandol

tlmgr install fandol

```

3. Install LaTeX packages

```bash

# reinstall  l3packages

tlmgr install --reinstall --with-doc --with-src l3packages

# install ctex to parse Chinese if you need

tlmgr install --with-doc --with-src ctex

```

4. Write a LaTeX demo in file `demo.tex`

```bash

# goto a temporary directory

cd $(mktemp -d); pwd

DEMO_FILE=$demo.tex$

echo "\document{article}" > "${DEMO_FILE}"

# "font=windows" if you copied Chinese fonts from Windows

echo "\usepackage[fontset=windows]{ctex}" >> "${DEMO_FILE}"

echo "\begin{document}" >> "${DEMO_FILE}"

echo 'Hello $\LaTeX$' >> "${DEMO_FILE}"

echo "测试" >> "${DEMO_FILE}" # or in other languages 

echo "\end{document}" >> "${DEMO_FILE}"

```

5. compile the LaTeX file `demo.tex`

```bash

xelatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode demo.tex

# install lost packages if needed

tlmgr install --with-doc --with-src LOST_PACKAGE

xelatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode demo.tex

tlmgr install --with-doc --with-src LOST_PACKAGE

xelatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode demo.tex

tlmgr install --with-doc --with-src LOST_PACKAGE

# ...

```

6. Open the PDF file by your Android PDF reader

```bash

termux-open demo.pdf

```
