Good, I like cats ! :-)

Anyway, after the next update, I suppose I will have to do the  
following :

— remove my ~/Library/texmf/web2c directory, in which my updmap.cfg  
lies (and no other files except updmap.log);
— re-do an "updmap --enable Map foo.map" for each personal Map files  
that are in ~/Library/texmf/fonts/map/. That will recreate a brand- 
new ~/Library/texmf/web2c directory with a new updmap.cfg inside, and  
the adequate map files for pdftex, dvips, etc.

It sounds quite logical to me, and this way I wouldn't  risk to  
bother the other users of my computer.

Thanks again,
