Yes, it is like this. And running initex from command line creates fonts in /root/.texmf-var. However this is not the case with fmtutil-sys - it creates fonts under /var/lib/texmf. Obviously fmtutil-sys plays some tricks with environment before running tex. As I can see, it sets TEXMFVAR=TEXMFSYSVAR. > If this is the case, I think we can forget this bug as "happens only in > weird circumstances", and you can fix it by removing all files from > /var/lib/texmf/fonts *except* the /var/lib/texmf/fonts/map subdirectory. I did that. But /var/lib/texmf/fonts/{tfm,pk} are re-created whenever I run fmtutil-sys or reinstall tetex. I think this is reproducible on a fresh installation.
