Either should be enough, i.e. either pfa or pfb. On my setup I've  
only pfa files, and being on tight schedule I'm not really willing to  
experiment with pfb at the moment.

Here's what I get with pdfTeX:

Two things:

- One difference is that your binaries are reported by full path such  
as /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/powerpc-darwin/latex while mine are  
reported using the texdist structure such as /usr/texbin/latex. This  
might indicate a misconfiguration of your whole TeX setup.

- Did you really used updmap as required? With a standard MacTeX  
install, you should either put all the files (fonts, support files  
etc.) inside ~/Library/texmf/ then run

	sudo updmap-sys --enable Map wolfram.map

or inside /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/ then run

	sudo -H updmap-sys --enable Map wolfram.map

What does the following report in your case

	 kpsewhich psfonts.map

And when you open this psfonts.map in a text editor does it contains  
lines such as

	Mathematica1 Mathematica1 <Mathematica1.pfa

If it doesn't, then something went wrong when running updmap(-sys). A  
very likely cause would be a mixture of per-user and system-wide  
setups, resulting in any of the following files being present

~/Library/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat
~/Library/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/updmap/dvipdfm.map
~/Library/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/updmap/dvipdfm_dl14.map
~/Library/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/updmap/dvipdfm_ndl14.map
~/Library/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/builtin35.map
~/Library/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/download35.map
~/Library/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/ps2pk.map
~/Library/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/psfonts.map
~/Library/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/psfonts_pk.map
~/Library/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/psfonts_t1.map
~/Library/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map
~/Library/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex_dl14.map
~/Library/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex_ndl14.map
~/Library/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
~/Library/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
~/Library/texmf/web2c/*.log
~/Library/texmf/web2c/*.fmt

If you've not willingly modified your TeX installation to allow per- 
user setups (i.e. map files, formats specific to each user), then  
having any of the above files would indicate a faulty installation.  
If so, I recommend deleting the above .map files then rerunning  
updmap-sys.

But there's another possible cause too: the file wolfram.map provided  
as part of the support files by Jens-Peer Kuska seems faulty, it  
contains reference to a mixture of pfa and pfb files, for example

	Mathematica1 Mathematica1 <Mathematica1.pfa
	Mathematica2 Mathematica2 <Mathematica2.pfa
	Mathematica3 Mathematica3 <Mathematica3.pfb
	Mathematica4 Mathematica4 <Mathematica4.pfb
	Mathematica5 Mathematica5 <Mathematica5.pfa
	Mathematica6 Mathematica6 <Mathematica6.pfa
	Mathematica7 Mathematica7 <Mathematica7.pfa

I would recommend choosing either pfa or pfb font files, then editing  
wolfram.map accordingly, and then re-running updmap-sys.

Hope this works,
