Hello Michael!

I had some time to run updmap myself to study how it works and found 
that it does *not* do what I described some hours ago, it works exactly 
like your version.

A 'local' version of updmap.cfg is obviously needed. Otherwise whatever 
MAP file you add or delete would be recorded in the system's one. And 
this one most probably gets overwritten at least when you install TeX, 
could be during an update too.

Your TeX file uses these PS fonts in 'normal' TeX encoding 8r: Courier 
(narrow), Times (regular, bold, italic), Helvetica (regular, bold, 
oblique), and Symbol, plus some Computer Modern fonts: cmmi10, cmex10, 
cmsy10, and cmr10. The latter ones are defined in bsr.map, the others 
in the builtin35.map or download35.map, both are located in 
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/.

updmap needs to be configured to either use the original Adobe fonts or 
its free URW clones, and it needs to know whether you want to make 
pdftex 'download' the PS fonts (needed for microtypography) or make use 
of the built-in fonts. I don't know a way to make these settings on the 
command line, I think you'll need to launch the i-Installer again to 
'Configure Only' these things ...

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something 
completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete 
fools.
