Chapter headings software anomaly.
-----------------------------------------------

Dear Sirs,

Enclosing herewith for your consideration* a TeX/LaTeX test file  
which should 'normally' output the same result using either (Mac)  
BasicTeX 2008/2009 or GWTeX, but happens to signal  a missing (font)- 
file in the former, while no such error appears in the latter. [I am  
using TeXShop v. 2.26 as the editor.]

The font in question is Lennys.eps, one of a stack of similar files  
in the 'fncychap' folder (zip file attached) to produce ... fancy  
chapter headings. But,
BasicTeX 2008/9 outputs: 
GWTeX correctly outputs: 

Is this a bug in the BasicTex software or a different placing of  
files we should be aware of. How could a correction be made?

[Using MacOS 10.4.11 -> on G4; not tried thus far using MacOS 10.6.2  
although the system is installed (Mac-Mini 2009-I). Still trying to  
find a place to put that 19" monitor!! We all have shortcomings ...]

Looking forward to hearing from you;
Greetings from Sydney:

JL
