Yes. I've seen that. But I found out that this is not enough. One 
also has to change the environment variable TEXMFDBS

% Where to look for ls-R files.  There need not be an ls-R in the
% directories in this path, but if there is one, Kpathsea will use it.
% This is default set to TEXMF+VARTEXFONTS but without HOMETEXMF
TEXMFDBS = $HOMETEXMF;$TEXMFLOCAL;$TEXMFOS;$TEXMFMAIN;$VARTEXFONTS

of TeXShop, it's really a nice TeX implementation.
