I know support for the usetex feature is limited, but I think (*hope*) that this is purely an MPL question and not out of the scope and annoying to the members of the group.
I like to use the fourier.sty package since I like the Utopia font and it's math font is particularly nice. But MPL is using this Latex installation:
/sw/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/
which has no fourier package, and raises predictable errors when I set
text.latex.preamble : \usepackage{fourier}
But I only use and maintain this one:
/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/latex/
(fourier and many other packages I like)
Is there a way to tell MPL to use my preferred Latex directory, or should I update and maintain the one it currently searches?
Mac OS 10.5
MPL 0.99.1
Many thanks,

This looks like a UNIX PATH issue -- mpl will use the version of latex
it finds first in your PATH, so if you want it to find
/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/latex/, put the directory
containing that latex ahead of the fink one (/sw)

Thanks, John. Looks like I can take from here. I'll add my Texlive directory to near the top of the path.
