Howdy,

I'd guess it uses the one in texmf.local too. I haven't updated to the
latest TL2004 i-package no less the TL2005 (TL2004+?) download so I wonder
if the extended version of pdftexconfig.tex you have compared to mine is
because of that update.

Did you have to restore operation of any fonts you had in texmf.local? I've
got Adobe Type Basics, mostly for ``official'' Times, Helvetica and Courier,
there. I haven't moved moved Lucida, Utopia Expert or Adobe Eurofont from my
personal tree yet, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Is there a structural difference in the tree between TL2004 and TL2005(4+)?

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
