Hello wakajawaka,

welcome to the forum!

I see there's an answer on the other site. So the information by Johannes saved time.

Well, why not cite the answer by fpast at the link above. He wrote, for Mac OS X:

• Install the STY and Defs directories into the tex directory of your personal TEXMF directory (here on Mac OS X in ~/Library/texmf/tex/byzfonts, arboresence to be created if needed, on other Unix it would be probably ~/texmf/tex/byzfonts);
• Install the Alphabet folder and the byyf.mf, byzf.mf, bzal.mf files in the ~/Library/texmf/fonts/source/byzfonts (also create this arborescence if needed);

~ stands for your personal HOME directory, /Users/<your_name> on Mac OS X.

You can choose to install those files in you local texmf directory instead, /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local on Mac OS X (and other Unix it seems), but then you'll have to enter, after the previous steps, the mktexlsr or texhash instruction on the command line, as a "super user" (in Mac OS X, sudo mktexlsr).

And here is his output then of tst.tex:

Maybe next time I see your question here first and can answer.
