tfms of the ec fonts are generated automatically; the first time around
LaTeX will cry foul, the tfms will be generated, and the second time
around they will be there. teTeX also has scripts allcm / allce for
generating tfms. I haven't tried this under osx, though.
The Metafont sources are under fonts/sources/jknappen. They are completel=
y
parameterized, and metafont parameter files for specific sizes are also
generated on the fly. All these generated mf's and tfm's would wind up in
the same directory hierarchy as the pk bitmaps.

Subject: OzTeX configs in TeXShop?
From: "david craig"

OzTeX supports a nice local folder which can contain configs, style
files, fonts, and so on quite apart from its default installation files,
and in particular not conforming to the dreary texmf tree. Makes it
very, very easy to copy, move or update an OzTeX configuration, for one.
Is there any way to tell TeXShop/tetex to scan this folder for
config/style/whatever files? (I don't really need two copies of
everything, and I'm not that interested in committing to the texmf tree
at this point anyhow.) I've only barely begun to take a look at
TeXShop, so I know this may be a hopelessly naive question.
Thanks,
David Craig

The simple answer is no. teTeX is very powerful, but at the cost of
complexity.
But the directory structure is not that complex. Use
~/Library/texmf/tex for tex, latex, style etc
~/Library/texmf/fonts for font stuff
If you want everything in one directory, make those directories symbolic
links to that one directory.

BTW, TeXShop has nothing to do with it.

What frontend do you use? TeXShop? In that case, try to run it once from
the command line. If that solves it, this is the existing TeXShop bug
where the environment does not contain the correct paths. A fix for that
problem is in the works.

Just installed LyX through Fink. The installation didn't succeed but the
program seems to be okay.
Anyone here has experience with LyX on Mac OS X?
Do you know if there's a way to send LyX output to Mac OS X Acrobat
Reader?
I tried changing the output preferences to "open -a
/Applications/Acrobat\ Reader\ 5.0" and it does open Acrobat but then
the file is missing from the buffer directory. I might investigate a bit
more but I was wondering if anyone had experience with this.
Now, here's something relatively strange. When I use gv and other X
programs to view a T1-encoded pdf (produced by LyX or by TeXShop), it's
output looks fine but it looks awful in Acrobat which tells me the
document is using "F16" Type 3 fonts. Doesn't this mean that the T1
fonts are available under X but not on the Mac OS X side? Isn't there an
obvious way to fix this?
Anyhow, I'll test a few things out and tell you if I solve everything
out.

A better way to think of structuring things may be to place your
local style files etc. where teTeX/TeXshop/CMacTeX expects them (see
above) and configure OzTeX to look there as well.
This is what I have done.

Viewing with Acrobat works after a reconfigure. Should have known. Ah
well...
As for the T1 stuff. The Acrobat file looks good if I change the default
font in LyX to Times. But then, the kerning is all weird in gv. If I use
the Automatic PDFLaTeX procedure (described here:
) and gv the resulting file is ok.
This is getting a little bit weird. Basically, I can produce files with
LyX that will look ok on the Mac OS X side but strange things are still
happening.

It only means that the PDF does not contain scalable versions of Computer
Modern fonts. If you want to use Computer Modern font, put the following
three lines into the document preamble:
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{ae}
\usepackage{aecompl}
Another possibility is to use a Type 1 Postscript font like Times or
Palatino. This can be done by including a line
\usepackage{times}
for Times or
\usepackage{palatino}
for Palatino.
