gtamacfonts-1.0

the portfile can be found here: ATTACHED

Description: This package provides TeX support for some of the commonly-used Mac fonts (Gill Sans, Hoefler, etc). The installation procedure is borrowed from Gerben Wierda's distribution of TeX for MacOS (​http://ii2.sourceforge.net).

Comments: This portfile works for me and I am submitting it since other DarwinPorts users might be interested in using it. I don't know, however, whether it is ready for inclusion in the main tree, for several reasons:

(i) It will only work on a MacOS install since it looks for fonts that come with MacOS and are installed in /Library/Fonts.

(ii) There is some debate over whether this packaging (using system fonts in another program) is within the licensing terms of the fonts (see ​http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.macosx/16149). Personally I don't think that this is a problem, since OpenOffice has a similar procedure.

(iii) The portfile needs some work. I've only been using DarwinPorts for one day, so maybe I just wasn't looking it the right place, but I couldn't work out how to do Tcl arrays in a portfile. So instead I have two lists and maintain an index between the two, which is a bit ugly... It also needs a "post-uninstall" stage to remove gtamacfonts.map but AIUI this feature doesn't exist yet.

But anyway, it works for me so I'm submitting it just in case anyone else finds this useful.
