[OS X TeX] Using OTF-fonts for TeX

[Moritz Biskup]

Thanks,
I am trying to use the LCDF-Tools right now; they seem to be what I
want. But I am running into one problem, when I try to build them they
require kpathsea as a library; somehow I can't find it in the TeX-tree
although texdoc kpathsea shows some documentation. Can anyone point me
to the location of the kpathsea - library and headers ?

Thanks,
Moritz
