Hi Norbert, I'm sorry, I'm not sure where these map files are--I could look.
It's working again. I deleted the '/usr/share/texmf-texlive/ls-R' file, and removed all the fonts and put them in my home directory, and reran texhash. Then I ran my very simple one-line case and when it gave a 'font missing' message, I added the directory back that contained the missing font file. It generated a simple, one-line .dvi and .pdf file, and xdvi and xpdf also worked. I didn't change any maps, but maybe they're being regenerated by this process. > How did you add the .map files to the updmap.cfg file? By hand editing? We may have edited it by hand over a month ago. It was working until yesterday.
