[OS X TeX] MinionPro Package with LiveTeX

[David Watson]

I think what Bruno suggested was that you follow one of two possible  
paths:
Path 1
     Move your MinionPro fonts into YOUR library so that they are  
located in
     /Users/Matthew/Library/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/MinionPro
     followed by
     sudo updmap-sys --enable Map Minion.map

or
Path 2
     Move your MinionPro fonts into the system-wide location for local  
additions at
     /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/tfm/adobe/MinionPro
     followed by
     sudo -H updmap-sys --enable Map Minion.map

The path that you typed was wrong, as the absolute path
     /Library/TeX/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/MinionPro
is not one which is searched by Kpathsea.

You can see a real-world example of installing fonts at the following  
link, if that helps:
