now that you say this... I usually ignore these messages. They always

no problem, they're just a warning that in case you don't have some global file (as you have) you should use these

show up but the fonts work well here. This is because I use the
original map files that are shipped with texlive7 that have the
mappings like

ptmr8r Times-Roman "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8r.enc

already built in. Along with the virtual fonts (ec to 8r encoding)
and these map files, there should not be any problem!

although ... here i prefer cleaned up files,

  name <encoding <pfbname

in order to avoid problems with names Font-Names and embedding

Right. LaTeX does not use the run-time loading of mapfiles.

here i've split up the files (otherwise they become anoyingly large) (actually, this is why latex pdftex people have proposed to patch pdftex, because it's so slow on the large map files, something i never noticed since i use small ones -)
