Yes these are indeed two typos. My fault. I've also met situations  
(for dingbats fonts) where the fontinst instructions need to be  
amended, but that was ages ago and I don't remember (having not used  
fontinst since).

However the "current" in the URL is misleading: I haven't updated the  
tutorial since writing it in end-2003, and won't: keeping it current  
would mean too much work, and require time I don't have.

I'm cc'ing your remark to Bob Kerstetter, who took maintenance over,  
and Wendy McKay, who takes care of the Mac section of the TUG web site.

Cheers,
