{\listtext	\'95	}Install jsMath fonts by double clicking on all the fonts in the 'jsMath TeX fonts' folder in the dmg and clicking on 'Install Font'.\
{\listtext	\'95	}Configure wxMaxima by running it from your Applications folder and opening the wxMaxima->Preferences... dialog. Make sure that the 'Maxima program' field points to your copy of the Maxima.app.\
{\listtext	\'95	}If the 'Use jsMath fonts' checkbox is grayed out even though you've installed the fonts, you can try restarting your computer. jsMath fonts are used for nicer (TeX-like) integral signs, summation signs and other symbols.\
{\listtext	\'95	}If wxMaxima found Maxima.app, then you should be able to run calculations (enter '1+1' and press shift-enter). Plotting requires GNUPLOT.\
