During the gwTeX installation, the various OS X fonts used by  
gtamacfonts are converted from the suitcases inside /Library/Fonts/  
and /System/Library/Fonts/ to .ttf format by applying Fondu, and the  
result of the conversion is put inside /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.gwtex/ 
fonts/truetype/gtamacfonts/. This has to be done at install time  
because of licensing issues: the fonts are part of OS X and cannot be  
re-distributed.

In order to know exactly what steps need to be taken, and assuming  
you have basic knowledge of the Perl scripting language, you can  
inspect texlive.configure within the gwTeX i-Package (i.e. within the  
texlive.ii2 bundle) and see exactly what it does.

Alternatively, you can inspect the directory /usr/local/gwTeX/ 
texmf.gwtex/ of a working gwTeX installation, and copy every bit  
located within a gtamacfonts subdirectory to a matching location  
within /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/, and then take the usual steps:

sudo mktexlsr
sudo -H updmap-sys --enable Map gtamacfonts(-atl).map

The parentheses () above were added by me, to point out that I don't  
know which map file fragments need to be used: gtamacfonts.map or  
gtamacfonts-atl.map or both.

Hope this helps,
