[OS X TeX] updmap-sys won't do its thing

[Kyle Johnson]

Thanks Clea Rees,

Adding the "=" didn't change things, unfortunately:

sudo updmap-sys --enable Map=MinionPro.map
Password:
updmap: This is updmap, version $Id: updmap 14402 2009-07-23 17:09:15Z karl $
updmap: using transcript file `/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-var/web2c/updmap.log'
updmap: initial config file is `/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg'
updmap: configuration (updmap.cfg) unchanged. Map files will not be recreated.
Kyle-Johnsons-MacBook-Pro:MinionPro kbj$ 

I'll look into the option of mucking with the cfg file.

I had some trouble getting updmap-sys to see the relevant map files and was working that out when I now find that updmap-sys just doesn't want to do its job. Here is what happens:
