[OS X TeX] Another font installation question

[Martin Stokhof]

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I haven't got things  woprking 
yet. Here what I've done:

I deleted the ones made with afm2tfm and placed all the distributed 
tfm's (from bembo en xbembo) in this location

as above

done that

I tried putting the pbb.map that comes with the xbembo package in 
various places:
- in my local tree in /dvips, in /dvips/config, in /dvips/psnfss
- in the system tree in /dvips/config
but to no avail, I keep getting the same "pbb8r not found" error

Then I looked at the pbb.map itself and noticed that it uses font 
names such as MBembo and MBembo-Bold whereas the corresponding .pfb 
files are called Bembo.pfb and BemboBol.pfb. So I thought it might be 
that, but changing the names in the pbb.map didn't make a difference. 
Last thing I tried was renaming the .pfb files, e.g. changing 
Bembo.pfd to pbbr8a.pfb Taking my clue from trhe pbb.map). That 
didn't work either: I still get the same error message.

Here my imagination fails me, I have no idea what to try next. So any 
comments and suggestions are most welcome. Thanks in advance.

Martin
