Hello, I'm forwarding this problem report from the MikTeX mailing list. I cannot switch to windows right now to test anything, but there are some "kind-of-general" problems with map files mentioned below in the log. The following map files are apparently missing on MikTeX (I would say: for obvous reasons - they're included in the standalone distribution, but not in cont-tmf on CTAN, which is where MikTeX takes its files from): ec-urw-times.map ec-urw-helvetica.map ec-urw-courier.map and the log file also mentions "cjk.map", but I have no idea where that one comes from. I'm not sure if that is the only problem, but it might be connected with broken PDFs Instanton, do you have any idea where that cjk.map comes from (or should come from)? Why do you have some files under C:\MiCTeX\MiKTeX 2.7\tex\context\base and some under C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\MiKTeX\2.7\tex\context\base ? Mojca .

Hi group,

After the latest update, MiKTeX 2.7 Beta3 went crazy with ConTeXt files. Whenever a ConTeXt file is processed, it produces a corrupted PDF file not readable by any PDF reader I know of. Even worse, after processing the ConTeXt file, latex, pdflatex etc will no longer work with any existing file, unless an "initexmf -u" command is executed once. Otherwise latex, pdflatex always say "assertion failed". Has anyone noticed the same problem?

I don't have that map file on my computer either. Where does or should cjk.map come from?

pdfTeX warning: (file ec-urw-courier.map): cannot open font map file fonts : using map file: original-youngryu-tx

Those map files are under some rather specific zip (they're included in standalone distribution, but are not part of cont-tmf.zip). They're also included in TeX Live, but I don't have them under my MikTeX either. But apparently I haven't noticed that problem so far since I didn't need those fonts under MikTeX. Hans?
