Bug#520410: texlive: pdflatex uses bitmap (Type 3) fonts in math formulas (bad pdftex.map?)
Package: texlive
Version: 2007.dfsg.2-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Since a recent upgrade, pdflatex now uses bitmap (Type 3) fonts in
math formulas (see very simple example under "minimal input file").
As this is a serious regression (bitmap fonts look awful with some
tools), I've set the severity to "grave".
FYI, here's the pdflatex and pdffonts output on this machine:
$ pdflatex bitmap-fonts.tex
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)

EENSUD+CMMI10 Type 1 yes yes no 6 0
I wonder if there's a problem with the file
/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map
In case this matters:
$ grep -i cmmi10 /var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map
aicmmi10 CMMI10 "AITeXMathItalicEncoding ReEncodeFont" <aicmmi.enc <cmmi10.pfb
cmmi10o CMMI10 ".167 SlantFont" <cmmi10.pfb
and on the Debian 4.0 machine (where there are no problems):
$ grep -i cmmi10 /var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map
aicmmi10 CMMI10 "AITeXMathItalicEncoding ReEncodeFont" <aicmmi.enc <cmmi10.pfb
cmmi10 CMMI10 <cmmi10.pfb
cmmi10o CMMI10 ".167 SlantFont" <cmmi10.pfb
Is it normal that the cmmi10 line is missing on the Debian/unstable
machine?
-- Package-specific info:
If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the
error in your report. Don't forget to also include minimal examples of
other files that are needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!
If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at
http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini-en.html (english)
or
http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini.html (german)
