[OS X TeX] gtamacfonts

[Gerben Wierda]

Hi,

I am lightly monitoring the discussion (for the first time in a year I  
guess) here because I just released this stuff.
- It is the same distribution
- If you have an improvement, please send it on and I'll make it part  
of the distribution. Any bug report is always welcome even if I do not  
do user support anymore.

I'd be interested in more info about differences between Tiger and  
Leopard.

Yours

G
