[OS X TeX]

[Paul Fontana]

Peter,

Thanks so much for all your detailed instructions!

I still have not gotten your script to work (I get 'Permissions  
denied'), but after studying it I think I get what it does and have  
reproduced some of it manually.  Interestingly, it seems to typeset  
correctly when I use pdflatex from the command line, but when I do  
exactly the same thing from TeXShop it doesn't work.  For example, from  
the command line I type:
pdflatex nfssfont
pkur7t
<some text or other nfssfontcommand>
\bye

and I get a .pdf document that looks good.  (I've tried this with  
several of the other pku-family fonts as well, and they all seem OK.)   
The transcript is

BUT in TeXShop, I load nfssfont.tex and click 'Typeset', and I get  
garbled output with the following transcript:

One difference that might provide a clue is that the two systems are  
using different versions of pdfeTeX and Web2C, as you can see on the  
transcript headers above.  Is this a problem, or at least an indication  
that TeXShop isn't using the right file tree or something?  I also  
notice that they are looking in different places for the file  
pdftex.map -- apparently the one at  
/Users/fontanap/.texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map is OK,  
but the one at  
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map  
must not be.

All this seems to suggest the problem is with TeXShop's configuration.   
What should I do to fix it?

Thanks,
