[OS X TeX] Stymied by updmap-sys; what's going on?

[Gary Church]

Peter and Tom,

I tried Tom's suggestion and commented out the lines in my map file  
(actually tmm-pea.map) as shown below:

%%tmrm108r Times8r-Roman " TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont " <8r.enc  
<tir_____.pfb
%%tmro108r " .167 SlantFont TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont " <8r.enc  
<tir_____.pfb
%%tmri108r Times8r-Italic " TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont " <8r.enc  
<tii_____.pfb
%%tmui108r " -.277 SlantFont TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont " <8r.enc  
<tii_____.pfb
%%tmbi108r Times8r-BoldItalic " TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont "  
<8r.enc <tibi____.pfb
%%tmbu108r " -.277 SlantFont TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont " <8r.enc  
<tibi____.pfb
%%tmrb108r Times8r-Bold " TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont " <8r.enc  
<tib_____.pfb
%%tmbo108r " .167 SlantFont TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont " <8r.enc  
<tib_____.pfb

Then I ran:
sudo updmap-sys --disable tmm-pea.map
sudo updmap-sys --enable Map tmm-pea.map

and all is well. When I compose my file (with the \usepackage{tmmaths}  
line), my file composes properly
with the tmmath fonts and Times fonts without those pesky "font map  
entry ... exists" messages.

So Peter, will this be a problem in the future?

I'm not familiar with the mathptmx fonts, so I'll have to give that a  
look-see.

Thanks much for all the suggestions from the good folks on this list.  
I hope I'll be able to contribute
as well once my knowledge space increases :-)

Gary
