Chinese fonts in English Document of Latex - latex

I would like to ask how to write some Chinese characters (simplified) within an English Latex document? I followed some methods suggested online but none of them are working for me. I am using Texworks to compile my document (pdfLatex).
\usepackage{CJKutf8}
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{CJKutf8}
\begin{document}
\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{bsmi}
你好吗
\end{CJK}
\end{document}
another method is mentioned here,
\usepackage{CJKutf8}
\newcommand{\zh}[1]{\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{gbsn}#1\end{CJK}}
insert whatever Chinese characters you like into the document by typing
\zh{中文}
The error I receive is as following when using the method of CJKutf8 with pdfLaTeX mentioned here,
The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:
C:\Users\muhd_\AppData\Local\MiKTeX\2.9\miktex\log\miktex-makepk.log
)
!pdfTeX error: miktex-pdftex.exe (file bsmiu30): Font bsmiu30 at 600 not found
==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
Log file is attached here.

The first error in the log file
The process terminated due to an access violation.
suggests that there are some problems with permissions while trying to create the necessary files to use the font for the Chinese letters.
Based on this answer https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/419809/36296 the problem can be fixed by either runing updmap from the command line or Refresh font map files from within the miktex console (in user mode).

How to set font in Texinfo

I'm using the GNU texinfo package to generate both PDF and .info files from a .texi file.
I'm trying to update an old .texi file (not changed since 2001) and generate the same PDF output. I've resolved a number of issues, but there are a couple outstanding. In the old PDF, the title was in Helvetica and body text is Liberation Serif. In the new PDF, both are Computer Modern.
I've read everything that I can find about fonts, but I'm not able to change the fonts. Nothing that I do seems to work. Everything I have tried generates errors.
In my .texi file, before any \setfont directives, I have \def\fontprefix{uh} which, if I read the pdftex.map file correctly, should select the NimbusSanL font set (e.g. uhvr8a.pfb). I get the following errors:
mktexnam: Could not map source abbreviation for uhss10.
kpathsea: Running mktexmf uhss10
! I can't find file uhss10'.
<*> ...ljfour; mag:=1; ; nonstopmode; input uhss10`
Does anyone have a example .texi file which sets the font family to use? Or an explanation of what I'm doing wrong?

error: (type 1): cannot open file for reading 'ugmm8a.pfb' in LaTeX (font depreciated)

I have been trying to compile my latex code in overleaf.com, but it keeps giving the errors as follows, and it does not point in which line of the code the error is located in:
It seems like a font issue there and here is the raw log of the error:
{/usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-dist/fonts/enc/dvips/ly1/texnansi.enc}
! error: (type 1): cannot open file for reading 'ugmm8a.pfb'
! ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
I need to solve this error to get my output document.
The urw-garamond fonts works just fine with texlive2021, you just need the ugmr8a.pfb from https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/urw/garamond
https://www.overleaf.com/read/cmvfrqrkrnrq
(... however it might give better results not to use such a legacy font if you're already using lualatex, overleaf has many good fonts installed https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Questions/Which_OTF_or_TTF_fonts_are_supported_via_fontspec%3F)
I have found the solution to this problem by myself.
Turns out the solution was just to change the Compiler (TeX Live) version of the overleaf.com project from 2021 to 2016 (since the 'ugmm8a.pfb' font got depreciated in the later version).
Hence I had to press the Menu option in the Top Left of my project, and then change the "TeX Live version" from 2021 to 2016 as shown in the screenshot below:
And after this one change when I recompiled, my document was successfully outputted without any errors.

I couldn't open style file IEEEbib.bst

I am trying to complete a paper in latex downloaded from an online template.
there shows an error while compiling:
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (MiKTeX 21.6)
The top-level auxiliary file: Islam2021.aux
I couldn't open style file IEEEbib.bst
---line 69 of file Islam2021.aux
: \bibstyle{IEEEbib
: }
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
I found no style file---while reading file Islam2021.aux
(There were 2 error messages)
Process exited with error(s)
How can I fix this?
IEEEbib.bst is not a default style include in tex distributions. Either you can download it from wherever you have your online template from or you could try your luck with a random version of the file from somewhere on the internet, e.g.
https://2021.ieeeicassp.org/Papers/PaperFormat/IEEEbib.bst
(this might be a different version and might give different results ...)

Getting compilation error with latex file in overleaf

This is my first time with overleaf. I have a latex template, and when I try to compile it shows the following error:
Emergency stop.
<*> header.tex
*** (job aborted, no legal \end found)
Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
28699 strings out of 480906
561966 string characters out of 5908280

occurred, no output PDF file produced!
I am not sure what to do.
Can someone please suggest how I can solve this problem?
In case you need some more information, then please let me know. I will add here.
Edit: header file that is throwing error: http://www.itextpad.com/pH0GJ5Bfmg
The document you have provided is simply a preamble file. It does not contain the document body \begin{document} ... \end{document} hence the Emergency stop fatal error.
What you should do is save this file under some name, say mypreamble.tex. Create a new .tex file and have both files under the same file directory. Finally, in the new file
\include{mypreamble.tex}
\begin{document}
\thesistitle
\section{Section 1}
/*
* Write stuff and commands here
*/
\end{document}
The file you have provided does not seem to be a classic template which you copy-paste, change some fields and have your product. It seems to look more like a file containing some functions and predefinitions which helps you structure your file in a certain way. I would suggest looking for another template that includes a document main body, which you would be able to implement and use immediately.

Offending Command error while Printing EPS

I am printing an EPS File generated with following credentials.

While doing Selection Printing on Ricoh Afficio 2090 or any other drivers/printers get the following error printed on the sheets
ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: F4S47
Stack:
.
Kindly Review and suggest a turn around for the same as i am already stuck in this hell. I have tried to convert/extract in PS but all in vain. I am using gsview to Print and view these files.
This is the problem:
%%PageOrder: Special
A ps document with "Special" page order can NOT be re-ordered. You cannot do a selection or range with this file because it is broken for this use. You must reprocess the file using Distiller or ghostscript (ps2ps or ps2pdf) in order to print selected or re-ordered pages from the document.
You can avoid this by generating your postscript files with a real Postscript™ driver (one not created by Microsoft).
The GSView Documentation has more about this.
Previously:
This line ...
%%TargetDevice: (HP Color LaserJet 4500) (2014.200) 0
... tells us that the file was generated with HP printers as a target. So this really is not an EPS file. Because it's not Encapsulatable. To generate output on a printer the file has to execute the showpage operator, which is a no-no for EPS files.
So uncheck the EPS box (it's a big fat lie, anyway), and select (install) a Generic Postscript driver. If you need to send it to multiple makes of printer, the file needs to make as few assumptions about the printer as possible.
The first thing is that this is not a valid EPS file, as it has PJL attached at the front. Many PostScript printers will strip this off, but by no means all.
This probably is not the source of the problem.
There is no way to 'review' the problem as you have not supplied the complete PostScript program. Without that there is no way to tell what is actually wrong, the error message tells you that the interpreter encountered 'F4547' while trying to parse a token, and that this has not been defined as a routine.
Most likely the file is corrupt, either damaged in some way, or possibly it is a biinary file and has been transmitted by some process which does has done some kind of conversion (CR/LF is common). The offending command looks like its ASCIIHex encoded, so that may be a red herring.
If you want additional help, you are going to have to make the whole program available somewhere.
