You are right. There is no way for an editor to guess what is the=20
encoding used, except when explictely explain inside the file itself.
iTeXMac has a preferred string encoding. If you it to read a file with=20=
a different encoding, just add the line
%!iTeXMac(encoding): UTF-8
in the very beginning of your source file.
However, the first time you save the file, you MUST set the actual=20
string encoding.

Both TexShop and Textures have strong plus and minus points. TexShop is
free, is compatible with other Unix-based TeX systems, and gives PDF
output directly. For simple TeX/LaTeX jobs it should be fine. Textures
is better if you need synchronicity (the output-to-source mapping), use
non-standard fonts like Mathtime, or can't cope with having to replicate
parts of the TeTeX tree just to store your macro and bibtex files.
Personally I can't wait for the MacOS X version of Textures, but even in
Classic it works perfectly.

What do you mean exactly by 'replicating parts of the TeTeX tree just
to store your macro and bibtex files' ? I make symbolic links to these
that point to a common bib-file that I use, but maybe I misunderstood
your remark. Since it sounds dreadful I am wondering what I am missing.

I get this sometimes on one of the two machines I use with OS X, when
using "man" or "path". I haven't figured out what's going on with this,
but try defining MANPATH to "" and see if that works.

I am using Gerben Wierda's teTeX distribution and I would
like to add some additional TrueType fonts (in particular,
Courier New and Andale Mono). I would be very grateful
if someone who succeeded in doing this could point me to
some documentation/web-site etc. which explains this procedure.
Thanks for any help!

You should really read Karl Berry's FontName docs, and the FontInst
documentation though.
Or, the Google search:

Well what I do for using true type fonts (works with wolfram and kerkis
fonts)...
1) Go to ~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/ make a directory font_name/ in
there as directed by the font distributor (i.e. for wolfram I made the
wolfram/ directory) place in there the true type fonts.
Most of the times there are als afm tfm and vf fonts. Place them in the
proper directory like you did with the type1 fonts.
2) Usually with the fonts it 's coming a file named *.map. Put this in
the directory ~/Library/texmf/dvips/config/
3) Also if there are files named *.sty and *.fd place it in the
~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/font_name/
4) At the end run the command texhash as a root and now you should be
done...
If you want many users to use those fonts then you should go to
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/ and follow the same instructions again.
I hope to helped you...

Mathtime fonts that work in Textures can be converted to work in OS X.
Synchronicity is the single most important feature that I miss in OS X
tex.

Thanks William and Georgios.
With the help of the articles mentioned by William (in particular the
one
from Damir Rakityansky), I was able to create .tfm, .vf, and .afm files
from my .ttf source file. I put them into the directories suggested by
Georgios. I couldn't put anything into the type1 directory, because I
simply have no type1 font. I couln't really figure out where to leave
the .ttf file and whether it is necessary to modify some files in the
global texmf tree so that mktexpk can find all the relevant files.
Thanks,
Matthias
