This is an interesting point; I removed lmodern from the file I was typesetting 
and it was pixels all over the place. LaTeX started to produce pixel fonts from 
several fonts (I don’t known which fonts are used in the PDF so I cannot say if 
all fonts where used), but all worked fine and the document looked good. There 
where no errors.

It sounds to me that updmap(-sys) and the map files are broken. Some file 
somewhere isn’t updated for some reason…
