[Mac OS X TeX] True Type Fonts

[Gerben Wierda]

<x-flowed>There is a file pdftex.cfg (there may be various, use the one kpsewhich 
tells you it is using)

Add a line

map +yourfilename.map

at the end.

And yourfilename.map is the map file your font conversion generated.

Gerben

PS:

[dumbledore:~] gerben% kpsewhich -progname=pdftex pdftex.cfg
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg

For dvips, add a line

p +yourfilename.map

to config.ps
