Let's see... /usr/share/texmf/fontname/urw.map mentions those URW Nimbus
Sans L-fonts, but /etc/texmf/updmap.cfg don't mention urw.map . If I
just add a line "Map urw.map", it does not help. I still get error
messages like this:
LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `T1/uhv/m/n' undefined
(Font) using `T1/cmr/m/n' instead on input line 25.
And this does not help, either:
ln -s /usr/share/texmf/fontname/urw.map /etc/texmf/dvips/urw.map
ln -s /usr/share/texmf/fontname/urw.map /usr/share/texmf/dvips/xypic/urw.map
Well... People of URW++ were good guys and girls, when they released
those fonts under GNU GPL. It would be really pity, if those fonts can
not be used out-of-the-box.
