To make a stand alone pdf file from a mp file is actually pretty simple 
(isn't everything once you know how?).

First, I had to
sudo texexec --pdf mprun.tex

Then, mpost the mp file
Then, mptopdf the file resulting from the mp.

You this uses ConTeXt transparently to the user.

Hello

I bought Mathtime fonts from Bluesky Research several days ago for use 
under
{OS X ,Tetex, TeXShop}, but have no idea what TeTex expects to be 
installed?

In the CD, i've MTEX,MTSY et RTMI Poscript Fonts and the mathtime 
metrics.
Is it possible tu use this fonts ? and how ?

Thanks Marie Nielse

Here's the copy of a message sent this morning. In case other people on 
this list speak French and wonder about how to install the MathTime 
Basic (aka 1.1) font set under TeXShop/teTeX and tell TeXShop/teTeX to 
use these fonts without looking for the MathTime Complete set (= 
MathTime Basic + MathTime Plus).

This situation arises, in particular, if you purchased MathTime fonts 
from Blue Sky Research or got them with Textures : Blue Sky Research 
sells only MathTime Basic, while teTeX assumes you got MathTime Complete.

Another solution is to purchase MathTime Complete (or just MathTime 
Plus) from Y&Y, in .pfb format. Then you only have to create the folder 
~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/mathtime, and put the .pfb files there.

Hope this helps,

Bruno Voisin

Subject: Request for front end suppliers who rely on my TeX distribution (or not)
From: "Gerben Wierda" <sherlock at rna.nl>
Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2002 14:44:23 +0100

My TeX distributions (and generic installer program) will ship within 
the next 48 hours or so. There will also be an informational website. As 
I tell people on my web site that one can use a front end to make life 
easier and that that front end may or may not use my distribution, I can 
point people to your front end home page and I will add any front end 
for Mac OS X that is out there if the supplier wants to be added 
('competition' included) and it is being maintained. I will not link to 
unix-level stuff like fink, just because my target is the non-unix 
people.

If you want me to do that, please let me know what link I should add.

As I said previously, I don't think this is so much a matter of their lack 
of desire / ability, but of inherent limitations in what's doable as an 
Acrobat plug-in. Tailor got a lot ``for free'' as a NeXTstep app, and when 
it was ported to Mac OS as a stand-alone app, it was as a QuickDraw/GX app,
  the API of which provided those same things---AFAICT Acrobat simply lacks 
these features, or the programming room to make them happen, if these 
things were provided for free,

1 - Adobe wouldn't sell as many copies of Illustrator,
2 - everyone's plug-ins would offer these features.

I've been hoping Enfocus would revive Tailor for OS X, and have been 
meaning to contact them about this (I desperately want a viable 
alternative to FreeHand)

Most of the links below have already been compiled and extensively 
documented by our list host, Gary Gray,  at:

	http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/

Maybe, we could coordinate, or restrict the front-end information to 
just "front-ends" such as TeXShop, iTeXMac, OzTeX, and CMacTeX.

We don't really have a informational website on specifically teTeX 
unix-based tools for OSX. Useful utilities like a bibtool FAQ, 
ImageMagick [for image conversions], font utilities, and a host of other 
extremely useful tools that we may not be aware that easily compile and 
work out-of-the-box. These utilities pertain to the teTeX side of 
things, and not really to the above front-ends. Would be nice .... :-) 
[But I understand how Gerben feels too]

What would be really nice, if we could start a MacOSX-specific FAQ that 
we could just keep adding to in this mailing-list...

     I am glad to see some interest in Vim on this list.  The URL above 
does not seem to work for me.  I maintain binaries of Vim for Mac OS X 
(Carbon) at

http://homepage.mac.com/fisherbb/index.html

Version 6.1 was released a few days ago, and I will post a new binary 
later this week (I hope).  For general information on Vim, see

http://vim.sourceforge.net

There is currently an effort to put together a comprehensive collection 
of TeX add-ons for vim.  I will post a link after I have had a chance to 
test these on OS X.

They come with TeXShop already, just use

and you're ready to go.

I have TeXShop, tetex, etc  intalled on my desktop. Is there a mechanism 
(script) whereby I can create the same installation on my laptop without 
repeating  the  steps of downloading, installing, etc?

Is there a Unix tools that can make the  disks on both machines 
identical?

Do you mean the whole OS? If so, I'm not 100% sure you'd want to do
this---I believe some of the .kext (kernel extension &c.)  and their
settings are machine specific.

For just TeXShop, tetex, etc., it should just be a matter of drag /
drop.

This site should get you started though:

>Is there a Unix tools that can make the  disks on both machines

ditto is for this, I believe.

However, if you're inclined, you could probably connect your laptop in
Firewire Target Disk Mode to your desktop, then create symlinks to the
appropriate directories, and always have everything on the laptop and
up-to-date.

The site isn't getting updated regularly anymore, so it is missing many 
of the newer developments. Gary did a great job for quite some time, but 
he seems to have made the mistake of thinking that he has a day job. ;) 
I don't know what he plans for the future. He did such a wonderful 
detailed timely job that I don't think there are lot of volunteers to 
pick up where he left off (ok, so I'm trolling).

Subject: Fonts included with Textures?
From: "Zachary Davis" <zsd3711 at gamma2.uta.edu>
Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2002 12:29:51 -0600

Tuesday, 26 March 2002



Hello,

I had purchased Textures before OS X had been released, when I was just 
learning TeX.  I really like the Lucida Grande font, and would somehow 
like to include that font in my documents.  I have since moved to teTeX 
in conjunction with TeXShop, and was wondering whether the necessary 
files to install a Lucida Grande font might be included on the Textures 
disk I still have lying around.  I remember Gary awhile ago posting 
something to this affect, where he had gotten a Lucida family installed 
into his teTeX installation.

Thanks,

Assuming you purchased the Lucida Bright/NewMath/Expert fonts from BSR 
or Y&Y specifically, yes you can use them with TeXShop. They are not 
included on the Textures CD (neither are MathTime), and I don't think 
it's possible to use the Lucida Grande fonts included in OS X with TeX.

If you have the fonts: I don't have the time right now, but I think 
there have been postings by Michael Murray and Gary Gray about their 
installation with TeXShop, some while ago. I'm not familiar with 
searching mailing lists, but I think Gary has added this functionality 
to the list archive.

I like using unisson, a sophisticated tool to maintain 2 directories in 
sync.
It uses an  Unix shell on both side, transport is being made by ssh.
It needs ocaml (install via fink). I think you don't need Dev tools to 
compile unisson.

Lucida Grande is a relatively new member of the Lucida family (in terms
of having been made available to the public), and proprietary to Apple,
so won't be in covered in the standard Lucida install.

Either converting it to a pc format .ttf, or a PostScript Type 1 .pfb
will allow one to use normal methods for installing it for use with
tetex---lots of docs around for this (arguably too many)

Here are some details on the installation of the Lucida Bright family (I
assume that is what you are referring to -- if not, I apologize):

[1] Take your existing Lucida fonts and convert them to .pfb files using Tom
Kiffe's conversion utility. You can find it at:

<http://www.kiffe.com/cmactex.html>

You will want to open his "essential" AppleScript "lwfn2pfb script txt" in
the Script Editor and save it as an application so that you can drag and
drop your fonts on it for conversion. This AppleScript will call the CMacTeX
binary "t1utils", so be sure you have that too. After creating the
AppleScript, drag and drop all 41 of your Lucida fonts onto the AppleScript
and after a few seconds, 41 .pfb files will appear (you will have 41 if you
have the entire Lucida set from Y&Y).

[2] You will now need to rename those new .pfb files. Here is a list of the
the new names and the corresponding old names:

New     Old
===     ===
lbc     LucidCalIta
lbd     LucidBriDem
lbdsc   LucidBriSmaDem
lbdi    LucidBriDemIta
lbh     LucidHanIta
lbi     LucidBriIta
lbki    LucidCasIta
lbkr    LucidCas
lbl     LucidBla
lbma    LucidNewMatArr
lbme    LucidNewMatExt
lbmi    LucidNewMatIta
lbmo    LucidNewMatAltIta
lbms    LucidNewMatSym
lbmsd   LucidNewMatSymDem
lbr     LucidBri
lbrsc   LucidBriSma
lbsl    LucidBriObl
lbtb    LucidTypBol
lbtbo   LucidTypBolObl
lbto    LucidTypObl
lbtr    LucidTyp
lfd     LucidFaxDem
lfdi    LucidFaxDemIta
lfi     LucidFaxIta
lfr     LucidFax
lsb     LucidSanBol
lsbi    LucidSanBolIta
lsd     LucidSanDem
lsdi    LucidSanDemIta
lsi     LucidSanIta
lsr     LucidSan
lstb    LucidSanTypBol
lstbo   LucidSanTypBolObl
lsto    LucidSanTypObl
lstr    LucidSanTyp
lbmad   LucidNewMatArrDem
lbmd    LucidNewMatDem
lbmdi   LucidNewMatDemIta
lbmdo   LucidNewMatAltDemIta
lbmr    LucidNewMatRom

Be sure and leave the .pfb extensions on the renamed files.

[3] Once you have renamed the files, then you simply need to put them in the
right place. Put the .pfb files in the following places:

In: ~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/lubright
Put:
lbd.pfb
lbdi.pfb
lbdsc.pfb
lbi.pfb
lbr.pfb
lbrsc.pfb
lbsl.pfb


In: ~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/lucida
Put:
lbc.pfb
lbh.pfb
lbki.pfb
lbkr.pfb
lbl.pfb
lbtb.pfb
lbtbo.pfb
lbto.pfb
lbtr.pfb


In: ~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/lucidfax
Put:
lfd.pfb

lfi.pfb
lfr.pfb

Put:
lsb.pfb
lsbi.pfb
lsd.pfb
lsdi.pfb
lsi.pfb
lsr.pfb
lstb.pfb
lstbo.pfb
lsto.pfb
lstr.pfb


In: ~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/lumath
Put:
lbma.pfb
lbmad.pfb
lbmd.pfb
lbmdi.pfb
lbmdo.pfb
lbme.pfb
lbmi.pfb
lbmo.pfb
lbmr.pfb
lbms.pfb
lbmsd.pfb


[4] Now it should work. Simply create a new LaTeX document and include
something like:

\usepackage[expert]{lucidabr}

and you it should use the Lucida fonts. I know people don't like
attachments, so here is a nice summary of the options available:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Options for the lucidabr package (paraphrased from lucidabr.txt):
-----------------------------------------------------------------

See lucidabr.txt for details on the package options.
To get the documentation for the lucidabr package, run TeX
(or LaTeX) on the file lucidabr.dtx and print the result.

The lucidabr package contains the code to support the Lucida Bright
and Lucida New Math fonts. You invoke it using

    \usepackage[...]{lucidabr}

where the ... indicated optional arguments.  This package supports
several options.  The default options are:

    [noexpert,lucidascale,mathitalic1,slantedgreek,errorshow]

(*) [noexpert] Lucida Bright Expert fonts *not* available
(*) [expert] Lucida Bright Expert fonts available (needed for bold math)

Special scaling has been set up for Lucida Bright fonts to control
the relative sizes of text and math fonts.
The default is to scale, but two options allow you to
revert to `normal' behaviour, or get even smaller.

(*) [lucidascale]
(*) [nolucidascale]
(*) [lucidasmallscale]

Choose style of letters in math. Italic3 is not really italic at all,
more a roman font with math spacing. Italic2 is not really
slanted but a different style of italic.

(*) [mathitalic1]            % `alternate' math italic (lbmo) default
(*) [mathitalic2]            % original math italic (lbmi)
(*) [mathitalic3]            % upright `math italic' (lbmr)

Choose between slanted and upright lowercase Greek.
Uppercase Greek is always upright.

(*) [slantedgreek]
(*) [uprightgreek]

Define extra command names to access:
uppercase slanted Greek (\varGamma...)
lowercase upright Greek (\upalpha...)
Irrespective of whether \alpha is accessing upright or
slanted Greek alphabet.

(*) [vargreek]

Do not define individual command names to all the AMS
math symbols (and a few extra Lucida math symbols).
This makes this package emulate the amsfonts package rather
than the amssymbl package. It saves a lot of space for smaller
TeX systems. You can then just define commands for the symbols
you are going to use.

(*) [noamssymbols]

Font encoding for the operators font.
Normally this options does not need to be explicitly
given as the default is to use the current default text
encoding, so if \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} is used before
loading this package, T1 encoding will be used.
These options are similar to the ones provided by the
mathtime package. Note that when cm fonts are being used
the OT1 encoding is always used for the operators font
as it is required to access Greek in that case. However
Lucida Bright provides upper and lowercase Greek in the math fonts.

(*) [OT1]        % TeX text
(*) [LY1]        % TeX 'n ANSI
(*) [T1]        % Cork

(*) [seriftt]    % use Lucida Typewriter instead of Lucida Sans Typewriter
(*) [fax]        % use Lucida Fax instead of Lucida Bright
(*) [casual]    % Use Lucida Casual instead of Lucida Bright
(*) [calligraphic]    % Use Lucida Calligraphic for italic text
(*) [handwriting]    % Use Lucida Handwriting Italic for italic text

This package makes a lot of font re-assignments. Normally these
generate warning messages on the terminal, however getting so many
messages would be distracting, so a further three options control the
font tracing. Even more control may be obtained by loading the
tracefnt package.

(*)    [errorshow] Only show font *errors* on the terminal.
    Warnings are just sent to the log file. This is the default
    for this package.

(*)    [warningshow] Show font warnings on the terminal. This
    corresponds to the usual LaTeX 2e behaviour.

(*)    [nofontinfo] Suppress all font warnings, even from the log file.


Good luck,

Gary
