[Mac OS X TeX] GW's teTeX (Comments and Questions)

[Alexandre Enkerli]

First off, many thanks to Gerben Wierda for all the work on those teTeX 
releases.
Just tried the last beta version ("teTeX-beta20011202.dmg") and it seems 
to work like the previous ones on my setup.

By the way, the putting the fink "source" statement in .login didn't 
work for me. I ended up having tex not finding the .fmt files seemingly 
because of this. After putting the source statement in my .tcshrc, 
everything worked again.

One thing I'd like changed with the installation. Unless I'm doing 
something wrong, the tex-related info files don't show up in the main 
info node. They can be accessed through "info 
--directory=/usr/local/teTeX/info/" but it'd be nice to have them at the 
top.

Now for the questions. I think they're specific to the MacOS X 
distribution but I could be wrong.

I'm slightly confused. Which texmf.cnf (if any) should we change? The 
one in /usr/local/teTeX/, the one in 
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/, or the one in 
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.macosx/?

Which config file(s) should we modify when we add font map files? Is it 
a good idea to use updmap? Is there a more convenient way to add map 
statements?
I managed installing fonts by putting modified config files in my 
~/Library/texmf tree (dvips/config/config.ps and 
pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg). Is this a good method?
