Hi, the texhash isn't needed anymore, but there could be an problem with updmap. My guess is that you'll be able to solve your problem by reading the following thread on the macosx-tex mailing list: http://tug.org/pipermail/macostex-archives/2006-February/020882.html The thread is not for fink's tetex, but it lists the possible issues (and it isn't clear which of them applies to you: e.g., arev seems to contain only virtual fonts - you didn't say if you got the .fd files from somewhere else). In addition, I would still suggest to install into /sw/share/texmf-local/tex/latex and to use updmap-sys instead of updmap - I find that easier to maintain (otherwise you'll have to keep various personal configuration files in hidden directories like .texmf* in your home folder, which sometimes causes unintended side effects... I forgot the details right now, but you'll be able to find more info on the macosx-tex mailing list) Regards, Jens ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
