The pdfTeX engine should not need to generate a bitmap font but use the 
PostScript font file with a  particular font encoding. That's what the lines 
building up the MAP file (or fragments) tell the engine. If it can't find an 
entry for the TeX font name in question in the MAP file, the engine assumes it 
must be a bitmapped font and delegates the job to generate the bitmaps of a 
font's glyphs at a particular size and resolution, taking into account certain 
peculiarities of the printer to be used later, to METAFONT. The mktexpk utility 
is just a handy wrapper to combine a batch of steps.

You should be able to run pdfTeX and not get into pixel production. It should 
all be vectors and outlines.
