Well this does not work either :

$ dvips -Poutline minimal

$ kpsewhere --format='web2c files' updmap.cfg
/etc/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg

I never touch any of this configuration files, because I do not know what they
are useful to. I installed web2c systems from scratch a lot of times 5 years
ago under different OS (SunOS, Solaris, Linux, OSF, etc.). I could thus be
said to know TeX systems a bit but just discover that tool (updmap). I should
not have used Debian : it's to simple since I did not have had to know changes
made in teTeX ;-)

Yeah !!!! it works.

I just have removed (renamed) the file you said and call updmap-sys :

$ mv /etc/tex/web2c/updmap.cfg /etc/tex/web2c/updmap.cfg.old
$ updmap-sys 
[...]
$ dvips minimal

Then the pdf is of course OK too :

$ ps2pdf minimal.ps
$ pdffonts minimal.pdf

Thank's for your help. I will read all updmap documentation in order to try
to understand how it works.

Any idea why the file /etc/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg was here and why it is the
not the same as the one in var lib ?

Thank's to you and to all who helps.
