Subject: Drag and Drop and Authenticate on the Mac OS Tiger
Date: Sun, 27 Nov 2005 19:52:13 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <EB3E2B07-47E0-4477-914D-B6C1EAEC7BA9@northcoast.com> (raw)

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
