[OS X TeX] STIX Fonts

[Gerben Wierda]

There will also be an update to Latin Modern pretty soon. And  
hopefully the OTF versions will then work on the Mac. If these are  
released, they will become part of my distribution. If the STIX fonts  
can be freely redistributed, adding them to the distribution will  
also be possible.
