<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Greetings,<div><br></div><div>Thanks to Michael Sharpe and Peter Dyballa for answering my question last week about exam.cls and Mac TeX 2008; I fixed that one and also some troubles with MathTime Pro fonts (also thanks to the list). So I can now typeset without difficulty using TeXShop.</div><div><br></div><div>Now I have a new and exciting problem, with LaTeXit. I can typeset equations and there are no apparent errors, but neither is there any apparent output. For instance, attempting to typeset 2+2=4 with the "Display" option yields the log file appended below - I don't see anything obviously wrong. The output window is blank, and while I can copy and past something (invisible) from there into Keynote (for instance), nothing appears in Keynote. Direct examination of the output file (latexit-1.pdf) using Preview also shows it to be blank.</div><div><br></div><div>This is using LaTeXit 1.16.0 beta 4, which I believe was installed as part of the MacTeX 2008 distribution, on Mac OS X 10.5.5. The behavior appears to be independent of whether I've selected pdflatex or latex+dvipdf in the preference pane, except that in the latter case LaTeXit issued the complaint at the end of the log file:</div><div><br></div><div>/usr/local/bin/dvipdf: line 47: exec: dvips: not found</div><div><br></div><div>I was able to get rid of that complaint by changing the ps2pdf preference from "/usr/local/bin/ps2pdf" to "/usr/texbin/pstopdf" but even with that there is still no output.</div><div><br></div><div>Any suggestions on how to proceed would be appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Todd Hufnagel</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div style="margin-top: 0px;
