[tex-live] italic fonts rendering as bold

Hello everyone,
I'm having some problems with a custom font that I installed.
I'm running a image-rendering server that takes chunks of LaTeX code
and renders them from .tex -> .dvi -> .png, using latex and dvipng.
We use Trebuchet MS, convert to a type1 font and installed in
texmf-var, to render our graphics. unfortunately, all our italic
script renders as bold.
I took our texmf-var/ directory from our server, put it as my home
directory on Ubuntu, and found that the trebuchet.map file in the
dvips driver was not mapping to the right fonts. I fixed this and was
able to get italics working after running `updmap --enable Map
trebuchet.map`. However, this fix did not work on the server, and I
am stumped as to what the cause may be. I disabled and re-enabled the
map after the fix, but it's still going to the wrong fonts. What do
you guys think?
Thanks,
Paul
