Not really. All you have yo do is put your additions in the local  
system-wide texmf tree at /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/, then  
run "sudo texhash" in Terminal.

The file you're looking for is /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/ 
README.texmf.gwtex.

You need to put the files in the appropriate subdirectories of /usr/ 
local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/:

- .afm files in /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/afm/
- .map files in /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/
- .tfm files in /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/tfm/
- .pfb files in /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/type1/
- .vf files in /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/vf/
- .sty and .fd files in /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/latex/

The idea is "just duplicate the structure found in /usr/local/teTeX/ 
share/texmf.tetex/".

Then update the font mapping info for dvips, pdftex and dvipdfm in / 
usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/psfonts.map  
etc., so that knowledge of the new fonts is added. For this, *never*  
edit the files psfonts.map etc. yourself. Instead, use updmap-sys  
which will take care of modifying all the files psfonts.map etc. for  
dvips, pdftex and dvipdfm, with the appropriate syntax for each file  
and all in one go.

How to do this? When installing an additional font you should have  
put a map file, myfont.map say, inside usr/local/teTeX/share/ 
texmf.local/fonts/map/. Then run:

	sudo updmap-sys --enable Map myfont.map
