Gerben, Herb, Bruno, et al.,

I want to make sure that I am understanding this (I am the only user  
on this machine, if that helps). So, if I keep all my additions  
(fonts, class files, style files, macros I input, etc.) in:

~/Library/texmf/

and *I* don't put anything in texmf.local, then it appears that I  
should be editing /usr/local/teTeX/texmf.cnf as described above. Is  
that correct? Who puts stuff in texmf.local since I didn't put  
anything there? This is still so confusing. :-)

So, if I am the only user on this machine, I can put all local  
additions in ~/Library/texmf/ and I should run use:

sudo updmap-sys --enable Map MyMap.map

for enabling map files. Yes? No? Depends?

I just noticed that I do have "updmap" directories in the following  
locations:

/Users/gray/Library/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/updmap
/Users/gray/Library/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/updmap
/Users/gray/Library/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap

Should they be there?

Thank you for *any* insight you can provide. :-)
