[OS X TeX] Font problem?

[François G. Schmitt]

Hi,

I have installed TeXShop 1.40 on a system 10.3.9 and have the following 
problem.

Everything used to work fine, but recently I had to reinstal the 
system, and then I reinstalled TeXShop and  all the indicated files. 
And now it refuses to work, for an unknown reason. The problem does not 
seem to be linked to TeXShop since IteXMac gives the same result: the 
problem seems to be with TeTeX or with fonts.
At the end of the compilation of my file I obtain the following output, 
repeated several times before an almost blank pdf file is generated:
------------------------------

Thanks for any info to help fix this problem.
