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. -- Nigel
