t1enc package calls ec fonts (cork-8bits-T1 encoding) instead of cmr 
original fonts (the same design but with 256 chars for european 
languages).

BTW it is best to call \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Yes, unfortunately, t1 calls are resident in latex base, but tfm 
files are not in tetex (afaik)...

You may try to suppress \usepackage{t1enc} (if language is english, 
it sould work), or install all the 8bit font stuff : tfm, mf source 
or type1 cm-super pack (73Mo !).
