Package: tetex-bin Version: 2.0.2-14 Severity: normal Hello, I encountered the following problem when trying to include a PDF file in the output of PDFLaTeX using the pdfpages package from CTAN, which uses the PDF inclusion mechanism native to pdftex. The PDF file that I was trying to include uses the MathematicalPi-Six font (from YandY), and embeds the subset of the font that it uses. However, PDFLaTeX (directed by mathpi.map in tetex-base) tries to embed the font in its output directly from mh6.pfb, which does not exist on my computer. Thus the output PDF file no longer embeds the font. Once I comment out "Map mathpi.map" in /etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg, the problem disappears: PDFLaTeX correctly copies the embedded font from the included PDF file to the output PDF file. I am not sure whether to blame this problem on pdftex, update-updmap, or updmap. Maybe pdftex should be fixed to copy fonts embedded in included PDF files whenever possible, or at least when there is no locally installed font available to be embedded. Maybe update-updmap should be fixed to weed out map files that refer to (all, or any?) nonexistent fonts. Maybe updmap should be fixed to weed out map file -lines- that refer to embedding a nonexistent font.
