Actually, it is not necessary to do this for TeXTures itself.  Just put
the suitcases in a folder called TeX Fonts in the folder which contains
the application itself.

Since I don't care about having the CM fonts open in other apps this is
what I do.  I had hoped that I could just drop the outlines in this folder 
as well.  I had thought this would work, by analogy to the fact that
when suitcase has a font file open, any outlines in the same folder are
also accessible.  Unfortunately it doesn't work out.  

For now my solution is to put a dummy suitcase with one of my apple fonts
in the TeX fonts folder and keep this suitcase open with suitcase.  This
is a bit of a Kludge.

I am not sure how easy it would be to add this facility to Textures (ie, when
it opens the fonts in the TeX fonts folder, also add any outlines there to
the font path) but it would be a nice feature if possible.

All in all, I like the CM/PS package.  Most of the hassles are because of 
Apple's way of finding fonts (which was perfectly reasonable in the old days).


One question,  Do you (Blue Sky) plan to release the rest of the LaTeX fonts
in CM form with the 1.0 release?  Its kind of annoying to have to keep bitmaps
around for all those left-overs.
