I've been using the LaTeX bundle successfully with TextMate. But I have come unstuck when I want to install a new font, for example Garamond.
From http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/mathdesign/ I see I must;

(1) Install a package called mathdesign
(2) unzip the file mdugm.zip into the root directory of my texmf tree

My questions to the list are

(1) How do I download and install a package with TextMate / the bundle / using the terminal ?
(2) where do I find the textmf directory in SnowLeopard ?

Thanks

Hi JJ

Thanks for the prompt response. I appreciate it may not be a TextMate thing, but I am using the LaTeX bundle within TextMate. I have tried the various commands to find what version of LaTex I have installed, as have other more geeky people (who use Linux or other programs to use LaTeX on a Mac) and none of them can find LaTeX on this computer although it obviously exists. So we have concluded that it must be bound up and hidden somewhere in the TextMate application.

Hi,

It's not really a Textmate thing; at least it never occured to me that Textmate may have something to do with it. I assume you have TexLive installed, although I think the process would be the same for every distro.

1) Download the zip file and unzip it to (2). If (2) already exists, I found that unzipping may not work, but you would have to manually move the files contained in the zip to the relative subfolders of (2).

2) The texmf directory is at ~/Library/texmf/, where ~ is your home directory (/Users/yourusernamehere/). If the folder does not exist, you may have to create it.

3) Fire up terminal, run "sudo texhash" and type in your root password.

Can you tell me what "sudo texhash" does before I go do it.

And is the root password the same as my administrator password?

Cheers,

JJ
