[Tex/LaTex] How to install mathpazo correctly from TeX Live Manager

mathpazotexlive

I've just installed BasicTeX 2013, which is the MacTeX equivalent of the TeX Live "small" scheme.

Using TeX Live Utility (MacTeX's GUI for tlmgr), I've installed mathpazo, but a minimal example

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathpazo}
\begin{document}
\end{document}

yields the error: (after the usual Metafont complaints)

./small.tex:3: Font OT1/ppl/m/n/10=pplr7t at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) 
file not found.

After installing the palatino package, this error goes away, but a slightly less minimal example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[osf]{mathpazo}
\begin{document}
hello 123
\end{document}

Now yields the less promising:

!pdfTeX error: /usr/texbin/pdflatex (file fplrc8a.pfb): cannot open Type 1 font
 file for reading
 ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

Uh oh. I'm stuck for ideas for what to try next.

Best Answer

The mathpazo package implicitly requires the Palladio set of fonts, which are not part of the standard psnfss package.

Therefore, it is also necessary to install the fpl package, as well as palatino, before mathpazo will work.

(Thanks to @jfbu for the tip!)
