[OS X TeX] Gentium help

[Mohinish]

Thanks a lot!
I did try the XeTeX a bit, but probably because my TeXShop is an  
older version and/or because I have so many other (some hacky)  
packages, it kept throwing errors.

Originally I tried the MAP files approach, but being a font n00b,  
failed.. although for some reason all the Chapter headings were in  
Gentium.

But with these links, I think I'll give it another shot. If all else  
fails, I guess the thesis will have to remain in the standard font.
