[OS X TeX] TeXLive 2006 problem finding fonts

Hello Bruno,

I've found what is happening and it seems I recall an announcement at  
the end of last year. The metrics, etc for lucida are no longer  
distributed with TeXLive 2006. When I purchased my fonts I simply  
copied the outlines to ~/Library/texmf since the support files were  
already included with Gerben's distribution and with TeXLive 2006. I  
have a little work to do and a bit of cleaning up of ~/Library/texmf  
as the files you listed in your message are scattered throughout.  
Thanks.

Vince
