I'm attaching a fixed original-public-lm.map.

After testing that file, I emailed that:

1. this new .map file fixed the small test file, but 2. the larger test file did not work (couldn't find cmex10.pfb).

#1 is true, but #2 was my error: I hadn't copied the fixed .map file to the subdirectory with the large test file. Once I did so, it compiled fine.

So, I think you are right that there's no need for the minimals to contain the cm* fonts; the new .map file points pdftex to available replacements.

Thanks for the fix,

I can confirm that the fix is working. I had a project using Euler and so far I had simply copied all the CM pfb files from texlive in my working directory. With the new lm.map file, I do not need any CM pfb file. However, the CM tfm files are still read (and they are part of the minimals). Mojca, thanks a lot for the fix. Aditya
