[OS X TeX] fonts handling

[Ulrich Groh]

I have just installed TeXlive2010 and MacTeXtras, where I found the source file "WelcomeToMacTeX.tex". As expected, compiling it I 
failed because the GentiumBookBasic-font is not installed at my Mac. I downloaded something like GenBkBasB.ttf from the net (after 
googling), installed it in the /Library/fonts directory put this in into \setromanfont[]{GenBkBasB} and compiled it but I failed again.
(I was using XeLaTeX).

Then I checked it with

%%
%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
\documentclass[12pt,]{article}
%%
\usepackage{fontspec,xltxtra,xunicode}
\setmainfont[]{Osaka}

\begin{document}
This is a test. //
% some Japanese charakters
ひりがな　囲碁

\textbf{This is a test} //
\textit{This is a test}  //
\end{document}

putting different ttf-file names into \setmainfont. I worked with all ttf-files in my /Library/fonts directory but still not with the 
above mentioned font nor with my sazanami.ttf font, which I am using in the CJK-environment under LaTeX. I also converted the GenBkBasB.ttf font with fontforge into afm, pfb, ... files as I did it with the sazanami.ttf font and installed the related files
in my local ~/Library/texmf-tree, run updmap-sys etc. but I failed either.

In both cases the system is looking for the mf-files etc. Heres is the error message of it:

graphics.cfg)

? 
 

Any help possible? What are the otf, dfont, ttc files?
