Pete,

about debris:  there was no ~/Library/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg.  Also  
there was no subdirectory ~/Library/texmf/fonts/map/ 
{dvipdfm,dvips,pdftex}/updmap.  There was, however, a file `~/Library/ 
texmf/fonts/map/dvips/MinionPro/MinionPro.map`, which I removed, and  
then ran i-installer again (just to be sure I'm doing it correctly:   
I chose to configure only, then (after choosing to initialize TeX,  
since it says I've never done so before - see below), I chose "update  
font mappings"; I checked "MinionPro.map" (which was unchecked again,  
despite the fact that I checked it when I ran i-installer last); I  
chose no for full font inclusion; Then finished.)  No luck.  (Was I  
supposed to just remove the debris and re-run i-installer?  Or  
something additional?  Sorry for my lack of the relevant knowledge!)

(By the way, each time I run i-installer, it says I've never  
initialized TeX.   This makes me worry that it doesn't have  
appropriate permissions or something like that...)

I double-checked, and on the working machine, i-installer definitely  
does not mention MinionPro.map in the checklist, when I "update font  
mappings".  How can I find out whether I have different TeX setups  
active?  Perhaps that is the cause of all my problems?  (Recall that  
I do have an old TeX directory on the hard drive, at /usr/local/teTeX.)

I suspect this is irrelevant, but I noticed that my copy of TeXshop  
lists, in the preferences, Engine pane, /usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386- 
apple-darwin-current as the (pdf)tex path setting.  I tried changing  
it to /usr/local/gwTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-current, but that had no  
effect.
