I used a radical approach to upgrading to TL2004:

- Backed up texmf.local, suppressed all standard files in this backup 
to only keep my local additions.

- Erased /usr/local/teTeX completely.

- Installed TeX (TL2004 version) with i-Installer.

- Put back in place my local additions in texmf.local.

- Ran texhash then updmap for each map file in these additions.

I haven't experienced any font-related issue afterwards. (But that was 
all as a tester, with a beta version of the most recent TeX i-Package, 
thus maybe the font-related issues people are experiencing are caused 
by a last-minute bug in the final version.)

I don't think so. The only difference is a more recent version of 
pdfTeX.

Cheers,
