Indeed, if you want them to be usable by all account owners on your Mac.

To put files there, you can either use drag-and-drop from the Finder  
(you'll be asked to authenticate) or use "sudo mv" or "sudo cp" in  
Terminal.

Then:

- Run "sudo texhash".

- Run "sudo -H updmap-sys" with the necessary addition of the  
appropriate map file names and options, for example:

	sudo -H updmap-sys --enable Map mymapfile.map

The TeX i-Package actually uses ""sudo -H -u root updmap-sys", to  
also set root as the file owner (if I understood correctly).

Earlier on Gerben detailed the various issues in a rather technical  
message reproduced at the end of this message. That was at the time  
of the per-user vs. global configuration havoc. I'm not sure whether,  
due to design decisions made later on, the following still applies as  
is.
