Dear all,

I recently installed the Latin Modern font family on my computer. Many of you will probably know it as "the LaTeX font", although it is actually not one but a collection of different fonts within the 'Latin Modern font family'.

The problem is that, once installed, Stata does not seem to detect them. Specifically, if I go to "Edit -> Preferences -> Graph preferences" and click on the 'Font' dropdown menu, I can find every font on my system, except for the Latin Modern fonts. Telling Stata to use the font through commands in a .do file rather than the Graph preferences menu does not seem to work either.

What's more intriguing is that every other program on my computer (say, Notepad or Photoshop) does recognize the font, so it's clearly properly installed.

FYI: I am running Stata 15.1, but I also tried Stata 14 and ran into the same issue. After Googling and looking through Statalist, I was surprised not to have found anybody else running into this problem.


Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
