Drag and Drop and Authenticate on the Mac OS Tiger
Gerben et al, I am worried about an ownership problem in my texmf.local tree in GWTeX. I get this iwona font, then drag the folder doc/fonts/iwona from the download to /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/doc/fonts using drag and drop and finder. I am asked to authenticate and I do so. Opening a terminal window and checking the result, I find: fonts $ ls -l total 0 drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 272 Nov 20 19:59 cm-super drwxrwxr-x 14 darnold wheel 476 Nov 27 19:27 iwona See how the result is owned by darnold:wheel? Is that gonna cause a problem? Should it be changed to root:wheel? Would it be OK to change to /usr/local/teTeX/share and then as root: chown -R root:wheel * Or would this be a bad idea? Gerben, I think maybe all these font thingys I've been trying out to go in ~/Library/texmf. What say you? David

That should cause no problems.

On my system it works this way (I keep all my additional fonts etc there). Greetlings, Hraban
