First, it has been some time since I last stopped by the Gregorio site. I am
thrilled to see that folks have been working in a Mac version. Having used
OpusTex over the years and seen it frozen in time, I am glad to see work on
Gregorio, for it is a more modern alternative.
Now for the report. I am running Snow Leopard (10.6) and was able to download
and install 0.9.2 successfully on my laptop, which was running TexLive2008 at
the time. The only oddity I ran across was that while the fonts etc went into
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local, it seems they where not picked up by my Tex
installation. I fixed it by adding a link in ~/Library/texmf/tex to
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local and all was fine. Running "lamed" works fine on
the examples and the sample Kyrie. (Lualatex does not, but all I have at the
moment is a Beta version)
I then proceeded to install Gregorio on my iMac. Here things did not go so
smoothly. TexLive 2009 is now the preferred version, which I downloaded and
installed without any problem. I then downloaded Gregorio 1.0 for Mac and
installed it. It seems that the fonts in the 1.0 package never made it into
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local, so when I tried the example, it did not find
the required fonts (tfm). The fonts are in the package, they just do not seem
to have been moved over correctly.
As an experiment, I downloaded 0.9.2 and installed it over 1.0, hoping I would
get the fonts. It seems that for some reason that did not work either. No
fonts. So I tar'ed and moved them over from the laptop to the iMac.
Lastly, I updated the laptop to TexLive2009 and Gregorio 1.0 and that seems to
work OK. Of course, I have the fonts already there, so I did not encounter that
issue.
