This includes copying the existing .otf files into a temporary directory and using the convert.sh script to produce the Type1 fonts (with lcdf doing the work). The conversion did give some warning messages about alternate ways of creating some curves, but did proceed to complete the conversion.

This worked, e.g., for installing in ~/Library/texmf the Lucida Type1 fonts from TUG and the MathTimePro 2 Type1 fonts from Personal TeX.

No need to do both. But deleting the texmf-config should do it. Blowing away both shouldn't hurt anything either; they rebuilt if needed.

Once you go over to MacTeX-2012 you will NEED to run `updmap` since `updmap-sys` will no longer look at your personal tree.
