what exactly are you testing this against?

If I run it agains my TeX Live 2014 (TUG direct), I do not get any errors with latex+dvips

Subject: [tex-live] Bug in bbold.map and associated entries in dvips/pdftex     maps

Hi,

after some investigation with an example [see below bbold-test.tex]
it is see that

  pdflatex bbold-test.tex

does its work whereas

  latex bbold-test.tex
  dvips bbold-test.dvi

does not.  After changing all entries for bbold, e.g. in bbold.map

  bbold17 BBOLD10 <bbold10.pfb
  bbold12 BBOLD10 <bbold10.pfb
  bbold10 BBOLD10 <bbold10.pfb
  bbold9 BBOLD10 <bbold10.pfb
  bbold8 BBOLD7 <bbold7.pfb
  bbold7 BBOLD7 <bbold7.pfb
  bbold6 BBOLD5 <bbold5.pfb
  bbold5 BBOLD5 <bbold5.pfb

it works, that is all bbold are seen in all sizes.

I guess that the second column in the map files is the font name which
are defined in bbold10.afm, bbold5.afm, and bbold7.afm. That is there
is no BBOLD12 nor a BBOLD17 nor a BBOLD8 or BBOLD9
