THAT'S IT! Thanks!...

Well... I found some old files in my /usr/bin. Now I removed them and  
it looks better. I can produce a correct pdf file (although with cm  
fonts, not with Hoefler), even if I still get some errors:
WARNING: Type1 font data returned by OFAStreamPSDownload isn't in the  
correct format required by the Adobe Type 1 Font Format specification.
WARNING: Type1 font data returned by OFAStreamPSDownload isn't in the  
correct format required by the Adobe Type 1 Font Format specification.
WARNING: Type1 font data returned by OFAStreamPSDownload isn't in the  
correct format required by the Adobe Type 1 Font Format specification.

(It runs only with this cm-default option of the fontenc package)

In my /usr/bin there are some more old tex binaries, but I am not  
able to recognize, which should I delete to get a clean system :(

One more thing: I do have the Latin Modern fonts installed on my Mac  
(as my user fonts), I'm not sure if I understand it correctly, that  
they will be used to typeset the math in the document, if I used the  
option lm-default.

They look good now, since I removed the files xdv2pdf from /usr/bin,  
so I don't think there is still need to post here the output.

But that, what I was trying to typeset, as you saw, was really simple  
math – it's rather symbolic (letters), there are no complex  
characters, so it would be lovely to have them in Hoefler Text, not  
in cm.

PS: It's a bit embarassing for me to write about my little problem to  
three mailing lists parallel. Sorry for that!
