Please go to <https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10932738/index.html> and download, expand and read the TeXLive2012Changes.pdf.zip file. You should also the same with the Eps-Tiff-Conversion2012.pdf.zip document (although there is a copy of this in /Applications/TeX too).

Howdy,

Just for the heck of it what is

echo $PATH

when you open a bash session with

sudo bash

since I wonder if it's going to root's login shell.

First remove ~/Library/texlive which was produced by using updmap rather than updmap-sys; you may need to use `sudo` to remove it since it is probably owned by root. Then either follow the directions in that TeXLive2012Changes document or Then try running

sudo -H mktexlsr
sudo -H updmap-sys --disable belleek.map
sudo -H updmap-sys --enable Map=mt-yy.map

and see if that works.

Good Luck,
