No, I don't believe I've ever made any changes to the updmap files; I 
don't even know what they do, well enough to edit them.

No, not to my knowledge. Of course, something I installed may have done.

I have previously played with TL (non-Debian, both 2012 and 2013 
pretest), but I was careful to put them well away from "stock" areas (in 
/usr/local/).

OK, will do.

I often add in various font pkgs if they sound interesting "just in 
case", on the assumption that they can't do any harm.

I do have these installed:

	latex-cjk-thai
	latex-fonts-thai-tlwg
	libthai-data
	libthai0:amd64
	libthai0:i386
	thailatex

should I remove some/all of those? I don't particularly need Thai fonts; 
just installed for fun.

I take it that I should not have done that?

thanks!


cheers,
