Thanks for your persistence, Pete.   I uninstalled everything, verified 
that /usr/local/teTeX was gone, deleted the existing tex.ii2 file, and 
rebooted.  Then I opened tex.ii2 i-Package (from Utah, dated 2004/12/29 
16:59:32) and did an expert install.  The following sample document 
does not typeset correctly using pdflatex:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fourier}

\begin{document}

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

\end{document}

Every character maps to ".notdef" and the generated pdf just has small 
rectangles for each character.

Running `updmap --listmaps` shows that fourier.map is enabled.  The 
file pdftex.map exists and is a symlink to pdftex_ndl14.map, which also 
exists.  Running `sudo updmap` and `sudo texhash` does not help.

Pouring over the log file I see the following interesting line:
     Warning: pdflatex (file 8r.enc): cannot open encoding file for 
reading

And here is an illuminating bit of terminal transcript:
[teTeX]$ kpsewhich 8r.enc
[teTeX]$ find . -name '8r.enc'
./share/texmf.tetex/fonts/enc/dvips/psnfss/8r.enc
[teTeX]$ pwd
/usr/local/teTeX
[teTeX]$ kpsewhich --show-path 8r.enc
.:/usr/local/Build/TeXLive.tl2003.development/share/texmf/fonts/enc//

It appears the 8r.enc exists but the tex search path is munged so the 
encoding file is not found under pdflatex.  Also note the the 
/usr/local/Build directory doesn't exist on my machine.

Furthermore, typesetting my sample file with latex instead of pdflatex 
does result in a usable dvi file.  However, running dvipdfm on this dvi 
file yields:

sample.dvi -> sample.pdf
[1
Can't find encoding file: 8r

Output file removed.

I've read most of the kpathsea manual trying to understand what seems 
to be a path problem.  I'm at a loss for what else to try.
