Guys,
Gerben Wierda has done an excellent job producing i-Installer for the Mac
OSX which works with LaTeX etc very well. It is clear that many people are
being introduced to TeX on the Mac now using this installer.
Unfortunately there appears to be one problem with ConTeXt which is texfont.
The tetex structure that Gerben has chosen is for the main fonts to be in
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts
Texfont will not recognise this location and the fonts in it and I suspect
it is because of the full stop in texmf.tetex
Evidence for this is in the following
Running the single command
texfont --en=8r --ve=urw --co=courier --so=auto
Should work but returns
processing aborted : unknown tex root /sw/share/texmf/
Clearly texroot is set incorrectly so forcing that
texfont --en=8r --ve=urw --co=courier --so=auto
--fontroot=/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/
Should work but returns
processing aborted : unknown subpath ../fonts/afm/urw/courier
And yet
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/afm/urw/courier/ucrb8a.afm
Exists
Are there any other possible reasons for this problem
I have had some success now with fonts using adobekb.tex but the situation
is not wholly satisfactory and I think I would really like texfont to work.
