Done that. Now, it does seem that the map files are being looked at. However, doing this results in a new PS file, where the fonts for math look awful. The specimen is here:

After looking at the files, I think I now know what is going wrong.

The map file line is

cmr12 CMR12

dvips takes this to mean: you should include both files, and then try to reencode the font CMR12 into the encoding specified in the enc file. When it starts writing the output document, it discovers there is no 'CMR12' font (the pfb defines the font LMRoman12-Regular), so it does not reencode anything, after all.

It should work out ok if you change the map file line to either:

cmr12 LMRoman12-Regular

or

cmr12 CMR12

Dvips' behaviour is probably correct or at least understandable, but the fact that it does not warn the user is probably a bug or at least worrying.

this also means that such a dvips file will *not* work with pdftex because that looks at the FontName when doing inserts, i.e. the CMR12 name is used for identifying the font and then lmr is used as replacement (else we end up with files where there can be lots of cmr fonts embedded); mostly related to graphics using cmr fonts Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
