So, I just did that, and then texhash and updmap-sys.... but I still get the same error (/usr/texbin/dvips: ! Couldn't find header file: TengwarQuenya.ttf).  How do I get the psfonts.map updated correctly?  It has a scary warning at the top not to edit it manually!  :-)

Howdy,

You may have to disable the map and then re-enable the map for the changes to take place.

The only way I can understand that it worked ``last year'' is that there was a map file with the pfb's in the older distribution that happened to get read before your ttf map. Even that is rather far-fetched.

Good Luck,
