The reason is that the map files are not generated by my updmap script. My
updmap approach assumes everything in one map file for each application
(at least as far as the system-wide configuration is concerned). The map
files should only be known to updmap and not listed in the configuration
of each application (dvips, pdftex, xdvi, gsftopk).
But currently, we have on TeX Live:
In config.ps:
% A minimal psfonts.map. all others are added at install time
p psfonts.map
p +aifonts.map
p +antp.map
p +antt.map
p +ascii.map
...
In pdftex.cfg:
map pdftex.map
map +aifonts.map
map +antp.map
map +antt.map
map +ascii.map
So, one has to make sure that either ps2pk.map and psfonts_pk.map have
everything that xdvi / gsftopk need or add the additional map files to
xdvi/xdvi.cfg
and
dvips/config/config.gsftopk
IMHO, the right thing would be to
- add all the map "modules" to updmap.cfg (as Map or MixedMap resp.)
- recreate psfonts.map, pdftex.map, ps2pk.map be running updmap
- remove all "p" and "p +" lines from config.ps
- remve all "map +" lines from pdftex.cfg
