[OS X TeX] Illustrator CS5, El Capitan and LaTeXiT

[David Derbes]

I apologize for what may be an off-topic post. 

I upgraded, perhaps foolishly, to El Capitan. MacTeX and LaTeXiT are working fine, and despite some curious things with Illustrator CS5, it mostly works. But there is something that is badly broken. If I generate in LaTeXiT some equation to add to an illustration, Illustrator says that it cannot find the fonts, and completely trashes the equation. I have never had this problem before. 

Maybe it would go away after a fresh install of MacTeX 2016 in a few days? But if there is a workaround, I’d be very happy to learn it. An hour or so of noodling about the web failed to provide a solution, but I’m hopeful someone here may know what to do.

Fortunately, I have CS6 on my home machine, running Mavericks…
