[OS X TeX] Installing new TrueType fonts

[Georgios Pyrgiotakis]

Well what I do for using true type fonts (works with wolfram and kerkis 
fonts)...

1) Go to ~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/ make a directory font_name/ in 
there as directed by the font distributor (i.e. for wolfram I made the 
wolfram/ directory) place in there the true type fonts.
Most of the times there are als afm tfm and vf fonts. Place them in the 
proper directory like you did with the type1 fonts.

2) Usually with the fonts it 's coming a file named *.map. Put this in 
the directory ~/Library/texmf/dvips/config/

3) Also if there are files named *.sty and *.fd place it in the 
~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/font_name/

4) At the end run the command texhash as a root and now you should be 
done...

If you want many users to use those fonts then you should go to 
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/ and follow the same instructions again.

I hope to helped you...
