The installation procedure is borrowed from Gerben Wierda's distribution of TeX for MacOS (http://ii2.sourceforge.net). Homepage: http://ii2.sourceforge.net/tex-index.html 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." defect closed Normal ports 1.2 fixed
