Hello Michael, Thanks for sending this in; I was unable to test the Gregorio binaries on Snow Leopard at all, so it's good to know they work. And about the installer issues...

The installer updates the global system map files, but it doesn't check if each user has their own personal map files, which would also need to be updated because they take precedence over the system map files. > I then proceeded to install Gregorio on my iMac.

After installing, was a Gregorio directory created inside ~/Documents? Is this iMac also running 10.6? > 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.

If ~/Documents/Gregorio was actually created, you could also run the script ~/Documents/Gregorio/fonts/ install.py, which should copy the fonts and update the font map files. > 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. Does running lualatex with GregorioTeX files work okay on your laptop after this update? I hope you enjoy using Gregorio, and thanks again for your report, -Tracy _______________________________________________ Gregorio-users mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/gregorio-users
