Hi Taco, hi all! I am trying to fix all the problems for Debian ...

Debian currently has: TEXFONTMAPS = .;$TEXMF/{fonts/,}map//;$TEXMF/dvips// What about this? I am not completely convinced about it since with updmap we generate input file for all the different programs. For Taco: I have NOT installed the dvipdfm map files, only those from fonts/map/pdftex/context and fonts/map/dvips/context Furthermore I have added all the maps in fonts/map/dvips/context to the updmap config file and called updmap-sys. So now I can call texexec on several documents without any problems and all the fonts are found. What is the problem with - removing the dvipdfm maps - generating lines for dvipdfm(x), pdfetex, dvips from the dvips config files as done by updmap-sys It would be great if we could straighten this out and get nice packages for Debian rather soon.
