Hi Bruno!

(ouch, forgot to reply to the list in last email... sorry)

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I think you've solved the case. I 
will try the new procedure later on in my development laptop and report 
back.

Again, your help was truly appreciated!

Cheerio!

Paulo

In this case, updmap sees there was a lucida.map referenced in updmap.cfg beforehand already, so that updmap.cfg is not changed; hence it thinks you didn't actually want to enable a new map file, and stops at that point.
