   Please, can you give me some info for how to install in a Debian system from CTAN files?

   Hi,

   copy the files where TeX would be able to find them and run texhash or mktexlsr. If you want to follow the TeX directory structure read its documentation (texdoc tds). I suggest copying the inconsolata files to TEXMFHOME (kpsewhich –var-value=TEXMFHOME), perhaps ~/texmf. It could look like:

   ~/texmf$ ls -R
   .:
   doc  fonts  tex
   
   ./doc:
   inconsolata
   
   ./doc/inconsolata:
   fonttable.pdf  inconsolata.pdf	test.pdf
   
   ./fonts:
   enc  map  otf  sfd  tfm  type1
   
   ./fonts/enc:
   inconsolata
   
   ./fonts/enc/inconsolata:
   fi4-ec.enc   fi4-ot1tt.enc  fi4-texnansi.enc
   fi4-ei1.enc  fi4-qxtt.enc   fi4-ts1.enc
   
   ./fonts/map:
   inconsolata
   
   ./fonts/map/inconsolata:
   fi4.map
   
   ./fonts/otf:
   inconsolata
   
   ./fonts/otf/inconsolata:
   Inconsolata.otf
   
   ./fonts/sfd:
   inconsolata
   
   ./fonts/sfd/inconsolata:
   Inconsolata.sfd
   
   ./fonts/tfm:
   inconsolata
   
   ./fonts/tfm/inconsolata:
   ec-inconsolata.tfm   qx-inconsolata.tfm  texnansi-inconsolata.tfm
   ei1-inconsolata.tfm  rm-inconsolata.tfm  ts1-inconsolata.tfm
   
   ./fonts/type1:
   inconsolata
   
   ./fonts/type1/inconsolata:
   Inconsolata.pfb
   
   ./tex:
   latex
   
   ./tex/latex:
   inconsolata
   
   ./tex/latex/inconsolata:
   ei1fi4.fd	 inconsolata.tex  ot1fi4.fd  t1fi4.fd  ts1fi4.fd
   inconsolata.sty  ly1fi4.fd	  qxfi4.fd   test.tex
   

   Then run texhash or mktexlsr.

   Further modify the map files, using updmap or the like. A quick hack could be editing pdftex.map, inserting the lines of fi4.map, for instance
   
rm-inconsolata Inconsolata "fi4OT1TypewriterEncoding ReEncodeFont" < [fi4-ot1tt.enc
for the OT1 encoding.

   Afterwards pdflatex should be able to compile a tex file using inconsolata.

   This is a good font. But unfortunately
   the package does not support bold and italic.

   Hello, I followed your installation instruction in the comment, but I get this error:

   “”"!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file rm-inconsolata): Font rm-inconsolata at 480 not f
   ound”"”

   Do you know how to fix that? I’d really like to use inconsolata in my thesis.

   Thank you.

   Never mind. I had an old ~/.texmf-var that was conflicting somehow. Removed the directory, solved the problem.
