Thank you, I see. I think it was about ten years since I last needed to worry 
about fonts and the TeX font engine so I expect some parts to have changed and 
I’ve forgotten a healthy part about the procedure and the tool chain.

Running updmap(-sys) with sudo didn’t help. (I’ve checked, the files updmap-sys 
claims to updates changes timestamp and is owned by root and admin).

If you mean that using find to locate the various files, then I did that to 
make sure the files existed and that was what I tried to report. If that wasn’t 
what you meant, then you lost me at ”searching for a MAP file”… Sorry.

How do I make updmap(-sys) find the font? The system obviously doesn’t locate 
it and my experiments shows that all relevant files are there. I believe, based 
on the fragment of understanding I have about the innards of the TeX system, 
that this is a matter of updating the databases that points to the files. In 
this case it is a matter of making updmap find the relevant files. To me it 
looks like it does look in the right places but the files aren’t included for 
some reason.

Thank you.
