Re: [tei-council] Question for Mac Users

I've always disliked this, partly because I don't like the fonts (because they are defaults in some Adobe products so looks like we're just not trying... and they are owned by Adobe... etc.), and partly because I always forget to do (and sometimes how to do) precise what Lou suggests below when I install a new system. Perhaps we should move to using fonts that are available cleanly and easily across all platforms? (But you guys might know more about which fonts those are than I...) -James On 01/08/16 23:47, Hugh Cayless wrote:

I got them by unpacking the Deb packages and getting the fonts out of them, then installing them with Font Book. I can share the fonts when I'm back at my computer if you want.

A Mac user of my acquaintance is trying to use the TEI Stylesheet library command teitoslides, which converts TEI XML to LaTeX and then to PDF. He seems to have hit a problem that I don't know how to solve, namely that the Minion and MyriadPro fonts which the Stylesheets expect to be available by default, are not.

On my Ubuntu system, I just grab a copy of the opentype fonts and put them in the right place in /usr/share/fonts/ and Everything Just Works. But I haven't the faintest idea how to do the equivalent, if there is one, on a Mac.

Has anyone tried this? If you've ever tried to build the Guidelines PDF you must have hit the same problem, I think, since they expect you to have these fonts too.

Any advice gratefully received
