[OS X TeX] Re: [pstricks] Combining PSTricks and Metapost

[David Arnold]

Herbert,

We have a workaround. It may not be optimal, but it works for us. What  
we did was download Fontmap.cmr.

http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/fonts/cm/ps-type1/contrib/Fontmap.cmr

We dropped this file in:

/usr/local/share/ghostscript/8.63/lib/

In that same directory, we adjusted the file Fontmap to read:

%!
% See Fontmap.GS for the syntax of real Fontmap files.
%% Replace 1 (Fontmap.GS)
(Fontmap.GS) .runlibfile
(Fontmap.cmr) .runlibfile

We then adjusted our bash shell, adding this line:

export GS_LIB=/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/

And now OTlatex.pl will compile fonttest2.tex as it should. The  
correct font and minus sign show up in fonttest2-pics.pdf and  
fonttest2.pdf.

I've attached the source file and script again if you want to give it  
a try.

Although our workaround works for our testing system, we still get  
this error message from dvips when we run the script with:

./OTlatex fonttest2

This is dvips(k) 5.97 Copyright 2008 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com 
)
' TeX output 2009.08.30:0912' -> fonttest2-pics.ps
dvips: Font cmsy10 used in file fonttest2.1 is not in the mapping file.
dvips: Font cmr10 used in file fonttest2.1 is not in the mapping file.

But Bruno Voisin posted this difficulty to the mactex mailing list, so  
maybe those folks can discuss the meaning (and any repair) of that  
error message.

I'd like to thank all the folks who tried to help us with this problem.
