Package: texlive-base-bin Version: 2007-5 Severity: wishlist I ran into a problem which I couldn't solve with the way updmap manages the map files. The goal was to install a truetype font, which is to be included by pdftex without conversion (because pdf can handle ttf) and must be converted to pk for use in postscript documents (when dvips is called).
If I put a line like jvnr8r Verdana " TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont " <8r.enc <jvnr8a.ttf into my map file (which ends up in psfonts.map and pdftex.map), pdftex is quite happy with it but dvips doesn't call mktexpk anymore and actually includes the font in tt format into the postscript file. If I remove the above line from the map and instead put an equivalent line in ttfonts.map, mktexpk is called again, but for both pdftex and dvips, which doesn't really make sense for a pdf document. Well, the solution would be if I could put the above line only into pdftex.map and also put the equivalent line into ttfonts.map. Both isn't currently possible with updmap.
