[OS X TeX] Stymied by updmap-sys; what's going on?

[Richard Sperling]

Gary,

I just noticed your post. I have the same fonts from Micropress and  
get the same duplicate font errors. Just ignore them. For me, anyway,  
the Micropress fonts are the ones that get used and that's all I care  
about.

My answer may not be satisfactory, but if it works then why get all  
hot and bothered? Have you tried a test page with some math? Does it  
work? Create two documents. In the preamble of the first one you will  
have the command \usepackage{tmmaths}. Notice this is not the package  
tmmath supplied by Micropress, but Walter Schmidt's improved version  
(note the extra 's' at the end of the command). In the second document  
comment out or remove the \usepackage{tmmaths} command. Print both  
documents and do a side-by-side comparison. Can you tell a difference?  
You should be able to.

Again, if it works, just go with it.

Best,
Richard
