[OS X TeX] installing font for Latex June 5

[Charles Chapman Pugh]

Hello.

I would like to install a special postscript Type 1 font for use with  
TexShop.  It is a logo-header for letters, and it comes with an afm  
file, but no separate tfm file.  It worked simply and well using  
Textures.  (A similar postscript file made with fontographer would  
also be useful if I could install it, It too worked with Textures.)    
I currently run Tiger and TexShop 2.03, downloaded with the i- 
installer.  Here is the console message I get when I run latex on the  
lettertemplate file.

I have read Bruno Voisin's notes on doing such font installations,  
which can be found by googling "Installing Fonts for Latex on OS X,"  
but to the Unix novice they are daunting, and the probability of  
success (for me) seems low.  Is there not a simple way to install a  
font in OS X, which can be used easily in Latex?  In fact, at the  
beginning of Bruno's tutorial several things the reader is assumed to  
be familiar with are listed, including  other necessary installation  
guides!  It looks like a long road.

I apologize in advance if this topic has already been dealt with  
here  --  I am a recent addition to the list.


Best,  Charles Pugh
