[OS X TeX] Re: OpenType fonts

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Pete,

thanks for your suggestion, but like you suspected: it doesn't help.  
TeX finds every file it needs, except for the otf:

kdebug:fopen(testfont.pdf, wb) => 0xa000dcec
[1kdebug:fopen(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/pdftex/ 
updmap/pdftex.map, rb) => 0xa000dd9c
{/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/ 
pdftex.mapkdebug:fclose(0xa000dd9c) => 0
}kdebug:fopen(/Users/tas/Library/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/caslon/texnansi- 
KERN-LIGA-DLIG-ONUM-ACaslonPro-Regular.vf, rb) => 0xa000dd9c
kdebug:fopen(/Users/tas/Library/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/caslon/texnansi- 
KERN-LIGA-DLIG-ONUM-ACaslonPro-Regular--base.tfm, rb) => 0xa000ddf4
kdebug:fclose(0xa000ddf4) => 0
kdebug:fclose(0xa000dd9c) => 0
]kdebug:fopen(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/type1/bluesky/

kdebug:fopen(/Users/tas/Library/texmf/fonts/enc/dvips/base/ 
a_6cirpq.enc, rb) => 0xa000dd9c

}
Error: pdfetex (file ACaslonPro-Regular.otf): cannot open OpenType  
font file fo
r reading
==> Fatal error occurred, the output PDF file is not finished!

Pretty bizarre. So all we can say right now: the path given for .otf  
in kpsewhich is not used by pdf(e)tex. I'm still puzzled.
