Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ an error on Mac but not on PC: maybe due to missing font

[gc_zhao]

I used to write my thesis on a PC, and have successfully complied the thesis. The template I am using is downloaded from this website: https://cecs.anu.edu.au/current_student ... monitoring

The master file in the zip files is thesis.tex. Everything is OK on a PC. However, recently I switched to Mac (texshop + texlive 2013) and I need to revise my thesis based on examiners' reports. Then the Texhshop stopped and return the following error information:

I searched the forum, and it seems that I missed some font. However, I cannot figure out what package or font I should install to fix this problem.

Make sure that at least the PSNFSS bundle is installed correctly on the Mac. The template loads the custom anuthesis package with the option palatino, which in turn requires the mathpazo package from that bundle.
