Oh you don't need to reinstall your fonts! The TeX font files already a complete mess in an average TeX distribution. No need to increase this mess.

But how do you then generate the virtual fonts, or is there some trick in the map files to reencode on the fly?

For the basic fonts: they are shipped with the TeX system.

The VFs are provided by the Latex PSNFSS system. Thus, if you don't select LaTeX support during TeXLive installation the VFs will not be installed. Maybe this is the case in other distributions as well. Jens
