MacTeX Description

The Macintosh component of the TeX Collection DVD MacTeX is a product produced by the MacTeX TeXnical working group of the TeX Users Group (TUG). MacTeX is the Macintosh component of the TeX Collection DVD, the reference edition of TeX distributed by TeX User Groups across the world. The reference edition runs on Mac OS X, Windows, GNU/Linux, various BSD Unix systems, and most other computer architectures.MacTeX consists of two pieces: MacTeX-2008 and MacTeXtras. MacTeX-2008 is an install package which installs everything needed to run TeX on Mac OS X. The package uses Apple's standard installer; installation takes four to eight minutes and is automatic. MacTeXtras is basically a collection of optional extras: Spell Checkers, Additional Front Ends, Documentation and Showcase items. What's New in This Release: · MacTeX-2009 installs updated versions of the GUI applications that were already in MacTeX-2008. In addition, MacTeX-2009 installs another front end named TeXworks. · MacTeX has optional packages to install two font collections (Latin Modern and TeX Gyre) in /Library/Fonts; these TeX fonts are already in TeX Live, but installing them in /Library/Fonts makes them available to standard Macintosh applications like Adobe Illustrator. By default, these fonts are not installed. · MacTeX installs the latest version of Ghostscript, 8.70, and an unpdated "Convert" from ImageMagick 6.5.2. These packages are self-contained; MacTeX installs no libraries in /usr/local/lib.
