The cm-super fonts are Type 1 version of LH (and EC/TC) fonts. you may still need the METAFONT sources to generate TFM files (font metrics). once you have them generated, you will not need the METAFONT sources any more (if you will use cm-super fonts). >> but you should use some screen font (in your editor) which will >> display both cyrillic and norwegian characters... best approach is >> to use UTF-8 capable editor. lhs> I will have to use two different screen fonts: one for cyrillic lhs> and another for Latin.

Or you can use Emacs for Macintosh. it understands UTF-8, has the ability to input many different languages on one keyboard, and has a convenient support for (La)TeX. http://www.google.com/search?q=emacs+macintosh gives a lot of links, e.g.: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ http://mac-emacs.sourceforge.net/index.html Best, v.
