[OS X TeX] updmap-sys won't do its thing

[Kyle Johnson]

Thank you Peter, Michael and Herb.

I don't recall running updmap, but that was, indeed, the source of my  
woes. I followed Peter's helpfully explicit instructions and  
everything works perfectly.

Do you gentlemen wear shining armor?

Again: many thanks,
Kyle
