[OS X TeX] kpsewhich .enc strange

[Bernhard Barkow]

I found the same problem in my fresh installation, getting the message:
...
Warning: pdflatex (file 8r.enc): cannot open encoding file for reading
...

Something similar happens when using dvips:
...
<texc.pro><8r.enc><texps.pro>.
Warning: module writet1 of dvips (file 8r.enc): cannot open encoding 
file for reading
<pgmr8a.pfb>[1]

This does not happen when using standard CM fonts. I just noticed it 
with Adobe Garamond fonts I tried to install into teTeX, and I am not 
100% sure that everything works fine with these newly added fonts 
(although it should). However, something should be wrong, because

kpsewhich -progname=pdftex 8r.enc
or
kpsewhich -progname=dvips 8r.enc
both produce no result, i.e., 8r.enc is not in the search path. I 
definitely don't know enough about fonts in LaTeX, but I guess this 
might be one source of the problem.
