Correct.

agw at home:~$ kpsewhich mt-yy.map
/usr/local/texlive/2012/../texmf-local/fonts/map/dvips/yandy/mt-yy.map

I did "sudo bash".

Please go to <https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10932738/index.html> and download, expand and read the TeXLive2012Changes.pdf.zip file. You should also the same with the Eps-Tiff-Conversion2012.pdf.zip document (although there is a copy of this in /Applications/TeX too).

I'll check this out.

However the procedure I outlined is exactly what I did on our Linux systems at work, and the MathTime fonts are working fine there.

I actually used the command as you typed it; I mistyped it into the email text (should've done a copy-n-paste).

I tried both, with the same effect.

Thanks for the pointer to the two PDF doc files; when I get a chance (maybe tomorrow), I'll try out their advice.
