[Mac OS X TeX] mathtime problems

No; not necessarily.
Have a look inside the file  pdftex.cfg .
Does it refer to  mt.map  ?

Mine looks like this:

landau.mpce.mq.edu.au> more `kpsewhich -progname=pdftex pdftex.cfg`
output_format 1
%compress_level 9
compress_level 1
decimal_digits 3
page_width 210mm
page_height 297mm
horigin 1in
vorigin 1in
map standard.map
% map +psfonts.map
map +context.map
map +cm.map
map +ams.map
map +latex.map
map +adobe.map
map +lucida.map
map +rotis.map
map +misc.map
map +xdvng.map
map +msttfont.map
% map +monotype.map
map +xy.map
map +logo.map
% map +pjn.map
map +mt.map
% map +em.map
% map +uca.map
% map +usb.map
% map +uty.map
% map +ptg.map


Note the line 6 from the bottom.

Next check whether  mt.map  is on your system; if so, it should contain:

MTEXB MTEXB <mtexb.pfb
MTEXH MTEXH <mtexh.pfb
MTGU MTGU <mtgu.pfb
MTGUB MTGUB <mtgub.pfb
MTMIB MTMIB <mtmib.pfb
MTMIH MTMIH <mtmih.pfb
MTMS MTMS <mtms.pfb
MTMSB MTMSB <mtmsb.pfb
MTMUB MTMUB <mtmub.pfb
MTMUH MTMUH <mtmuh.pfb
MTSYB MTSYB <mtsyb.pfb
MTSYH MTSYH <mtsyh.pfb
MTSYN MTSYN <mtsyn.pfb
RMTMIB RMTMIB <rmtmib.pfb
RMTMIH RMTMIH <rmtmih.pfb
RMTMUB RMTMUB <rmtmub.pfb
RMTMUH RMTMUH <rmtmuh.pfb
MTSY MTSY <mtsy.pfb
MTEX MTEX <mtex.pfb
RMTMI RMTMI <rmtmi.pfb

or perhaps just a subset of this.

The Times fonts should appear in  standard.map :

landau.mpce.mq.edu.au> grep ptmb *.map
standard.map:ptmb8r Times-Bold <ptmb8a.pfb 8r.enc
standard.map:ptmbi8r Times-BoldItalic <ptmbi8a.pfb 8r.enc
standard.map:ptmbo8r ptmb8r " .167 SlantFont  " <ptmb8a.pfb 8r.enc

landau.mpce.mq.edu.au> grep ptmr *.map
standard.map:ptmr8r Times-Roman <ptmr8a.pfb 8r.enc
standard.map:ptmri8r Times-Italic <ptmri8a.pfb 8r.enc
standard.map:ptmro8r ptmr8r " .167 SlantFont  " <ptmr8a.pfb 8r.enc


When you run a  pdfTeX job, the log-file should show the  standard.map
being read, and also the various .map files.
If this does not happen, then you should study the file
	   ~/Library/texmf/wed2c/texmf.cnf
to see if you can work out which path variable is wrong.


> And here is an extract from ~/Library/texmf/ls-R:

> mtex.pfb
> mtext.pfb
> mtsy.pfb
> mtsyn.pfb
> rmtmi.pfb
> rmtmih.pfb

You have the font files; but you still need the correct path variables
to allow these to be found when required.


Hope this helps,
