Siegfried,

Please don't install the gem into the system. That's just going to lead to complications. Use something like RVM or Bundler to manage the gem inside your home directory or inside your project. And you definitely shouldn't be adding a custom theme to the gem's installation directory. That's not how the gem was designed to work.

This command is more correct:

/usr/local/bin/asciidoctor-pdf -d book -b pdf -a title -a pdf-themesdir=resources/themes -a pdf-fontsdir=resources/fonts -a pdf-theme=hit -o /u1/dcpa/etroot_entw/tmp/tmp.25190.pdf Noah.asc

Except a few things:

* Verify you are really running 1.5.0.beta.1 by using asciidoctor-pdf -v

* Prefix the pdf-themesdir value with ./

* You don't need to specify the pdf-fontsdir or copy the fonts if you are using the bundled fonts (they will be discovered automatically)

* Use .adoc as the AsciiDoc file extension (just a side note)

If you do those things, I'm confident it will work. But I still recommend using RVM or Bundler to manage the gem because installing into the system (anywhere outside of home) is going to be problematic (unless you can install from a Linux package, but you can't since it's too out of date).

Best,

-Dan

Hello Dan,
so I've upgraded asciidoctor-pdf to 1.5.0.beta.1, which is installed into /usr/local/bin/asciidoctor-pdf

/usr/local/bin/asciidoctor-pdf -V

my commandline is:
/usr/local/bin/asciidoctor-pdf -d book -b pdf -a title -a pdf-fontsdir=/usr/local/lib64/ruby/gems/2.6.0/gems/asciidoctor-pdf-1.5.0.beta.1/data/fonts -a pdf-style=/usr/local/lib64/ruby/gems/2.6.0/gems/asciidoctor-pdf-1.5.0.beta.1/data/themes/hit-theme.yml -o /u1/dcpa/etroot_entw/tmp/tmp.23867.pdf Noah.asc

with this commandline, no errors, but the theme hit-theme.yml is been ignored

I've tried also the commandline from the docs:
/usr/local/bin/asciidoctor-pdf -d book -b pdf -a title -a pdf-themesdir=resources/themes -a pdf-fontsdir=resources/fonts -a pdf-theme=hit -o /u1/dcpa/etroot_entw/tmp/tmp.25190.pdf Noah.asc

here also, no errors, but the theme hit is been ignored

for this, I've copied the fonts and the theme into the file-structure from the docs-example:

cd <sourcedir>
find ./resources
./resources
./resources/fonts
./resources/fonts/mplus1p-regular-fallback.ttf
./resources/fonts/notoserif-bold_italic-subset.ttf
./resources/fonts/mplus1mn-bold_italic-ascii.ttf

./resources/fonts/mplus1mn-regular-ascii-conums.ttf
./resources/fonts/notoserif-bold-subset.ttf
./resources/themes

cat resources/themes/hit-theme.yml
