[OS X TeX] Howto install .pfb fonts on Mac OS X?

[Otto Poellath]

Hi,

I'm sorry if this is actually unrelated to TeX and LaTeX, but since 
there's quite a couple of font experts on this list, I couldn't resist 
to ask..

I received a font in .pfb and .pfm format, and need to get it to work 
with Mac OS X applications like Photoshop, but not TeX or LaTeX.
Since simply dropping them in ~/Library/Fonts didn't make them 
available,  I searched the web and found the t1utils package on Marc 
Liyanage's site (www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/). The manpage for the 
included t1mac states that

t1mac reads a PFA (hexadecimal) or PFB (binary) PostScript Type 1 font 
file and  generates  an  equivalent  Macintosh Type  1 font file

but

WARNING:  The output of t1mac is not sufficient to use the font, since 
Macintoshes can't read raw Type 1  fonts.  You will  need  to  create  
a  font suitcase containing bitmap fonts if you do not have such  a  
suitcase  for  the  font already.  t1mac cannot help you do this.

So right now I'm stuck, since I have no idea how to create a font 
suitcase. If anyone could help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

TIA,
-Otto.

try the most obvious one:


% (this is actually in the TeXShop Standard Document Template)
\ifpdf
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.pdf, .jpg}
\else
\usepackage{graphicx}
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.eps, .jpg}
\fi

% and then:

\begin{figure}[t]
     \begin{center}
     \includegraphics[width=6.5cm]{figures/demo-screenshot}
     \caption{Indoor and outdoor navigation}
     \label{demo-screenshot}
     \end{center}
\end{figure}

% which does in fact include the file
% martin% ls -la figures/demo-screenshot.jpg
% -rw-r--r--  1 martin  admin  180707 Jun  6 15:40 
figures/demo-screenshot.jpg


have fun! :)
