[tex-live] Bug: possibly with import package, LaTeX can't find font files that are first used in a file included using the \import* command.

Well this line shows the problem: LaTeX can't find Umsb.fd. The
reason is that you used the starred version of \import which -- as
the documentation explains -- "avoids searching the TEXINPUTS path
when importing files". 

This obviously also affects subsequent searching of files inside the
imported document.
