Hi Ulrich,

Two things.

First, be careful with this list, the replies by default go only to the sender, not the list (ie, Reply-To is set to the sender not to lucida at tug.org). It seems I was the only one to receive your answer of yesterday. To make sure the answer goes to the list as well, use Reply-All instead of Reply.

(I'm writing this as I often forget and make the mistake myself.)

Second, to clarify what I wrote yesterday, there are two possible setups:

- Per-user: the font files are put inside ~/Library/texmf, they are found automatically (ie, no need to run texhash = mktexlsr), you run updmap (= updmap --user) which creates psfonts.map etc. inside ~/Library/texlive/<year>/texmf-var/fonts/map/updmap/.

- System-wide: the font files are put inside /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local, you need to run "sudo texhash" to make TeX and friends aware of the addition, then you run "sudo updmap-sys" (= updmap --sys) to create psfonts.map etc. inside /usr/local/texlive/<year>/texmf-var/fonts/map/updmap/.

Just make sure you don't mix the two setups (unless you know exactly what you're doing). In particular, once you have run updmap (without the -sys), willingly or not, the per-user setup has been created and will take precedence: whatever you do in texmf-local and with updmap-sys afterwards, it will have no effect whatsoever.

Looking right now at the updmap page (see "texdoc updmap"), I see they've added an explicit warning about this:

"
updmap−sys (or updmap −sys) is intended to affect the system−wide configuration, while updmap−user (or updmap −user) affects personal configuration files only, overriding the system files.

As a consequence, once updmap−user has been run, even a single time, running updmap−sys no longer has any effect. updmap−sys issues a warning about this, since it is rarely desirable. See https://tug.org/texlive/scripts−sys−user.html for details.
"

As I wrote yesterday, in case this happens and you didn't do it on purpose, the easiest cure is to delete ~/Library/texlive/<year>/texmf-var/fonts/map/updmap/ then run updmap-sys.

I described the system-wide setup yesterday because Maurizio mentioned texmf-local in his message. But yes, you can opt for a user-specific setup instead and it will work just as well. Just make sure you don't mix the two.

Hope this works,

Bruno
