Welcome! Please read this information.

This is Gerben Wierda's TL GW Extras i-Package for TeX Live on Mac OS X. 

The TL GW Extras i-Package contains:
• The GTAMacFonts additions and configuration that enable you to use several Apple's system fonts. This only works properly if you have fondu installed. If you also want the AFM files you also need to have fontforge to be installed.
• The TeXDist structure that makes it more easy to handle different TeX distributions. This is installed in /Library/TeX. 
• The TeXDist PreferencePane which enables you to choose a TeX distribution in the System Preferences application. This is installed in /Library/PreferencePanes

Currently, this i_Package overwrites all three on install. If new versions of TeXDist appear, it will be made more intelligent and check for existing versions.

If /usr/texbin does not exist, it will be set to use the default TeX distribution.

NB. TeXDist relies extremely on symlinks working properly as it tries to be /Volume-independent (you can boot from one volume and use the TeX on another one). There have been various problems with symlinks in Mac OS X in the past. They seem to come and go.

For information on i-Installer.app packages, see the i-Installer.app Help function. Especially read about the risks of installing software from the net and how you can inspect the contents of your package.

TL GW Extras only works with a TeX Live installation.
