Thank you very much for your help and going in this again. And thank you
for pointing out tldoc.pdf very much! This helps me a lot!
With your help again I have looked into it again. I have done a big error
and, please let me explain:

First: Thank you very much for pointing this out again. Yes, I have read
that answer.
Please don't be angry, could it be that the file
dsrom12.tfm
is missing in the TeTex-Distribution? I have to install it by hand and now
it is working. Puh, hard work, sorry for that. Because I have installed the
fonts manually under \texmf-var\fonts\tfm this was working but removing
this don't. I have checked if the *.tfm files were installed but I don't
have checked if they have been complete. This was totally my fault I should
have to check _first_ if updmap is working or not and _then_ looking why
pdflatex is still not finding the font. I'm very sorry.
But: I still have problems with updmap. Please correct me if I'm wrong
here: updmap --disable dstroke.map _is_ working. Then dstroke.map is
commented out in updmap.cfg. But updmap --enable MixedMap dstroke.map does
_not_ work. I have to manually remove the comment symbol. This was my next
error: After Fabrice's correction in updmap.pl I have thought this should
work. So I was disabling dstroke.map by the above command and then I was
not able to enable it. This confuses me because with other map files in
updmap.cfg I was able to disable and enable them by command.
And pdflatex is now working and windvi is still not working (not displaying
the doublestroke fonts and trying to call Metafont) but yesterday I get it
to work and today I don't know what I have changed...:
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 dsrom12
Best regards
Harald
