a - Did anyone succeed in using the free postscript fonts on Mac OS X, using a distribution that I use (i.e. the most recent version)
Yes, but noy , I did with TeXLive7 on MacOSX, at least, which is a superset of GW's distro.
b - What were the exact commands that you used? Can you send me a simple test file?
The key thing for me (perhaps obvious to others) was making sure the source font tree was in the same place as the destination tree, so... cd texmf/fonts/afm sudo mv bit bitstrea cd ../../.. cp -R texmf/fonts/afm texmf/fonts/tfm texmf-local/fonts cp -R texmf/fonts/type1 texmf/fonts/vf texmf-local/fonts cd ~/Documents/temp texfont /usr/local/teTeX/texmf/context/data/type-tmf.dat --en=texnansi --fontroot=/usr/local/teTeX/texmf-local --install --makepath Re-reading your email, I'm not sure that'll be exactly what you need, but it's what I learned, at least.
c - Did you experience the same EC.enc vs ec.enc naming problem?
I used the Hans-suggested texnansi encoding, which may have helped. I did a diff between GW/tetex2.0's new EC.enc and the older ec.enc. Just one line different: diff texmf/dvips/base/ec.enc share/texmf/dvips/base/EC.enc 67c67 < /ldot /zacute /zcaron /zdotaccent /ij /exclamdown /questiondown /sterling ---
/ydieresis /zacute /zcaron /zdotaccent /ij /exclamdown /questiondown /sterling
d - Do other platforms have the same problems with teTeX 2.0 (Hans: What version of teTeX are you using on your linux system, since at your place it obviously works ;-)
I compiled the teTeX binaries myself and overlaid them on top of my TeXLive tree. Only my MP graph problems so far suggest it might not have been the best idea. :) I haven't dealt with the rest of the teTeX 2.0 tree, yet.
