[OS X TeX] How do I instal Mathtime fonts?

[Bruno Voisin]

Just realised (after reading Michael Murray's message) that I forgot 
something basic: you have to (1) convert your MathTime fonts to PFB 
format and (2) install them at the appropriate place.

I have Lucida and MathTime fonts installed. Here's (as far as I can 
remember) what I did:

(1) Assuming you have the font in former Apple LaserWriter format (LWFN 
font file), CMacTeX contains a utility t1utils for performing the 
conversion to PFB format. From a posting to this list by Tom Kiffe, on 2 
May 2001:

> CMacTeX contains a Carbon t1utils program and an accompanying Apple

> called lwfn2pfb. Just drop your Macintosh Printer Fonts onto the Apple
> Script and it will convert all of them to pfb format.

(2) In your home directory create, if it's not already here, a directory 
~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/mathtime, and put your PFB files 
there. For me, I have just the basic MathTimes set, that's

mtex.pfb
mtsy.pfb
rmtmi.pfb

As a whole, my directories for Lucida and MathTime fonts in 
~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/ are, just like Michael Murray said:

lubright
lucida
lucidfax
lucsans
lumath
mathtime

And it all works for me too!
