[OS X TeX] Help: Hieroglyphs and Font not Found

[Yann Ricard]

Hello:

I am a complete Tex Virgin (Mac expert, but UNIX virgin) trying to  
use a package called Hiero to typeset Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Everything works great (except that the output quality is not  
sufficient) as long as I do NOT use the postscript fonts like so:

                         \usepackage{hiero}

But if I try to use the PostScript fonts like so:

                         \usepackage[psfonts]{hiero}

I get the following errors:

=====================
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)

<etc. snip>
=====================

OK, so, Tex can't find the font files. I tried reinstalling them and  
fixing permissions, but that did not help.



I tried the following:
=====================
[Yann-Ricards-Computer:~] yannrica% kpsewhich --progname=pdftex  
HieroR.pfa
/sw/share/texmf/fonts/type1/HieroR.pfa
[Yann-Ricards-Computer:~] yannrica% ls /sw/share/texmf/fonts/type1/ 
HieroR.pfa
/sw/share/texmf/fonts/type1/HieroR.pfa
=====================




I manually checked the files were there as follows:

Yann-Ricards-Computer:/sw/share/texmf/pdftex/config yannricard$ ls
pdftex.cfg
===========




I then checked the contents of the config files

The pdftex.cfg has the line

             % This shows how to add your own map file.
             % Remove the comment and adjust the name:
             map +hierofonts.map
             map +diacrFonts.map

and the config.ps has the lines

             % This shows how to add your own map file.
             % Remove the comment and adjust the name:
             p +hierofonts.map

And, yes, I ran sudo texhash after I installed.

What could I be missing?
