Howdy,

Besides a possible problem with picking up the wrong marvosym.map  
file (actually, it looks as though the right one was picked up since  
kpsewhich seems to pick things up alphabetically and `marvosym' comes  
before `misc' --- but I still think it is ``dangerous'').

What I can't find is the umvs.tfm file for the marvosym font. I've  
downloaded and installed the marvosym package from CTAN into  
texmf.pkgs and all seems to work ok now.

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
