Bug#227856: tetex-bin: dvipdfm generates bitmap fonts in stead of T1 fonts
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-5.1
Severity: normal
Here at work we have a LaTeX class that uses PostScript fonts, instead
of the normal CM fonts. The kind of fonts we use can be reproduced with
this minimal (OK, probably not very minimal) TeX file (many parts taken
from our .cls and .sty, to try to get the same font conditions):

When I generate PDF via:
latex test.tex
dvips -P pdf test.dvi
ps2pdf test.ps
and then view it with Acrobat Reader (e.g.), the fonts look fine.
But when I generate PDF via:
latex test.tex
dvipdfm test.dvi
and then view it with Acrobat Reader (e.g.), the fonts look horrible,
clearly bitmapped. I know for sure that it worked fine a couple of
months ago (when I last wrote a report :-).
This is the verbosed output of dvipdfm:
$ dvipdfm -vvv test.dvi
Warning: Couldn't open font map file cmr.map
Warning: Couldn't open font map file psbase14.map
Warning: Couldn't open font map file lw35urw.map
test.dvi -> test.pdf

Compression eliminated approximately 2398 bytes

It's clear that it uses the .720pk generated bitmap-font (with MF).
Also, I wonder why the .map files that are in the default config of
dvipdfm do no exist on my system...
