I'm trying to use the free postscript fonts that come with teTeX (urw palatino, times, helvetica, courier and various others, you know the list) in ec encoding.

I'll send you a testfile off list. Please tell me if it is working. A couple days ago I have sent a testfile (I think it was to Wolfgang) with a changed berry typeface (from type-enc.tex).

With \usetypescriptfile[debian] it is working. The standard way (as defined by Hans Hagen) doesn't.

could you please send me the psfonts.map and pdftex.map files from your distribution?

See the attachments.

1 - I've used texfont on the type-ftm.dat file in the default installation

Oh you don't need to reinstall your fonts! The TeX font files already a complete mess in an average TeX distribution. No need to increase this mess.

But how do you then generate the virtual fonts, or is there some trick in the map files to reencode on the fly?

My direct questions: 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)

I am not using tetex 2.0 on Mac OS X. Only texlive. And i had a successfull attempt.

...

b - What were the exact commands that you used? Can you send me a simple test file?

Yes.

...

c - Did you experience the same EC.enc vs ec.enc naming problem?

(I am not using texfont)

But at some point the ec.enc file must be read... Kind regards, Maarten Sneep
