I could help you out with the font installation on MikTeX.

Thanks, Montag. Are they any differences between MacTeX (I work in it) and MikTeX? If not, there is no problem for me to move to it (I've just found it's possible to install it on mac). I just want to know (to be awake to it) how to install fonts (it really frustrates me in MacTeX). Do you know how to do it in MikTeX on mac?

Font installation

Post by Montag »

In general, no, I don't know how to install the font for MikTeX on the Mac OS. But I am pretty sure the general steps still apply.

So for MikTeX on Windows, I'd know that I'd have to do the following after I copied the font files to the right place.
  1. Open updmap.cfg, add Map dayroman.map.
  2. Open the command line window thing in Windows.
  3. Enter texhash, press enter.
  4. Enter initexmf -u, press enter.
  5. Enter updmap, press enter.
  6. Use \renewcomman{\rmdefault}{dayrom}.
Maybe it's similar for MikTeX on a Mac, if MikTeX on a Mac truly works.

I've just found on Ubuntu forum "updmap --enable Map=ua1.map" could help. I tried and it helped! In MacTeX. So, I'm going to stay with it (until next problem appears ;)).
Thanks.
