[OS X TeX] otftotfm

[Ingo Reich]

Hi everybody,
since I've got some spare time, I tried to convert some open type fonts  
(with otftotfm) for use with latex. The first problem I ran into was  
that the automatic option didn't work for some reasons I don't  
understand. Probably I have to 'set some variables', but I just don't  
know enough unix to really understand the manual. Therefore I installed  
the files manually – I think and hope correctly – and loaded the font  
in a testfile (latex + dvips via ghostscript; LY1 encoding). Result: I  
just get some kind of crossed rectangles as output in the pdf. Dvips   
complains in the log file (attached below) about not being able to open  
the LCDF-generated encoding file "a_yi6hsz.enc" although I see no  
reason why it shouldn't. Any ideas? (BTW: do I have to use cork.enc  
instead of texnansx.enc to generate virtual fonts in T1 encoding?)
Thanks,
Ingo
