[texhax] quick question

[Richard Koch]

Walt Burkhard,

Please write me directly using the email address in TeXShop.

TeXShop is just a front end to TeX. When it typesets, it calls TeX
saying “Here is a file; please typeset it and call me when you have
a pdf file to display. In the meantime, I’m going to take a little nap.”

Finding fonts is solely a job for TeX; TeXShop has nothing to do
with it. Typesetting through TeXShop and via the console should
give the same result. So the behavior you describe has another 
explanation, and by corresponding directly we can discover the cause.
