[dvipdfmx] Problem with dvipdfmx finding font files

[Yannis Haralambous]

Hi,

in the last weeks I have a recurrent problem: dvipdfmx will not recognize fonts in pdftex.map and
will exit with a fatal error:

][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86
dvipdfmx:warning: Could not locate a virtual/physical font for TFM "xydash10".
dvipdfmx:warning: >> This font is mapped to a physical font "/hom/yannis/texmf-static/fonts/pfb/XYDASH10".
dvipdfmx:warning: >> Please check if kpathsea library can find this font: /hom/yannis/texmf-static/fonts/pfb/XYDASH10
dvipdfmx:fatal: Cannot proceed without .vf or "physical" font for PDF output...

No output PDF file written.

The font mentioned is listed as follows in the pdftex.map file:

xydash10 XYDASH10 </hom/yannis/texmf-static/fonts/pfb/XYDASH10.PFB

I checked, the font is there, and kpsewhich sees it:

kpsewhich XYDASH10.PFB
/hom/yannis/texmf-static/fonts/pfb/XYDASH10.PFB

I'm using the following version of dvipdfmx:

This is dvipdfmx Version 20210318 by the DVIPDFMx project team,
modified for TeX Live,
an extended version of dvipdfm-0.13.2c developed by Mark A. Wicks.

When I remove the font from the list in pdftex.map, then some other font is missing. Everything worked fine a few weeks ago…

Thanks in advance for any help,

Yannis
