Hello André and Jörg,

I am not quite sure whether the following issue should already be
solved by the new fontmap-system. Unfortunately, it still occurs in
the current SVN version:

The ligature "ff" in the following example comes out as the wrong
character:

--------------  code  -------------------------
from pyx import *

text.set(mode="latex")
text.preamble(r"\usepackage{times}")

c = canvas.canvas()
c.text(0, 0, r"Diffusion")
c.writeEPSfile("times")
c.writePDFfile("times")
----------------------------------------------

The outcome is the same both in EPS and PDF. The font which is
internally used is "ptmr7t", a virtual font which consists of
"ptmr8r". When run pdflatex with the same example, it tells me that is
uses utmr8a.pfb, which is correct, as I have the map entry

ptmr8r NimbusRomNo9L-Regu "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8r.enc <utmr8a.pfb

(both in psfonts.map and pdftex.map). However, the outcome from PyX
and from pdfTeX are different: see the attachments.

Michael
