Howdy, I'd expect that you TeX Live distribution installed by MacTeX is perfectly fine. I have no idea how you remove the one installed by MacPorts. Follow Dick Koch's advice to check the MacTeX installed version. If that is ok following my advice should fix things.
If the MacTeX version isn't there we'll need more information about how you installed it; e.g., is the install on a fresh version of Sierra or not, etc. Good Luck, Herb Schulz > On Nov 13, 2016, at 5:35 PM, Christian Boitet <christian.boi...@imag.fr> > wrote: > > G'day, 13/11/16 > > Vielen Dank Herb für die schnelle Antwort. > > Ja zur Frage. > > (Ich schrieb "I reinstalled MacLive, and then MacTeX-2016, which are supposed > to come with XeTeX.
