I've installed the current BasicTeX, a subset of MacTeX 2013. This includes the Latin Modern fonts, presumably in the TeX Live directory tree, which isn't a place that OSX looks for fonts. The full MacTeX distribution has a subpackage called Latin-Modern-Fonts. This is supposed to install Latin Modern as a normal OSX font, that all programs can use. MacTeX also includes 2 GB of stuff I don't want.
My question: is it possible to install the union of BasicTeX and Latin-Modern-Fonts, ideally without downloading the full MacTeX distribution? If not, is there a simple way to install the fonts by hand?
cp -p /usr/local/texlive/current/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/lm*/* ~/Library/Fonts
or/Library/Fonts
or alternative location if Mac OS X now keeps its fonts elsewhere. It may also work to copy the directory which would be neatercp -pr /usr/local/texlive/current/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/lm* ~/Library/Fonts/
ln -s /usr/local/texlive/2013basic/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/lm '/Library/Fonts/Latin Modern'
.../Fonts/...
. But maybe that's no longer the case.)
