Yes, you do:

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/type1/urw/

Now --by default updmap
(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/updmap.cfg) uses

``URWkb:   URW fonts with "berry" filenames''.

So, with this default configuration, LaTeXing

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\begin{document}
Hola, Prof. Gr\"atzer. Utilizo mucho su libro \textit{Math into \LaTeX}
\end{document}

Acrobat will tell you your document uses NimbusRomNo9L-Regu an
NimbusRomNo9L-ReguItal; and if you open the document with Illustrator, it
will complain about missing fonts.

But you can change updmap to use

``ADOBE:   Adobe fonts with "vendor" filenames''

with

sudo updmap-sys --setoption LW35 ADOBE

and with the same document above Acrobat will tell you you're using
Times-Roman and Times-Italic and Illustrator will open it without problems.

This is true only with text; math is another thing, as Illustrator will
substitute many CM and AMS fonts.

Best regard,

Axel
