[OS X TeX] cmr8 not in mapping file

[David Arnold]

Michael et al,

Michael is onto something. I followed his lead and did this:

latex --shell-escape Untitled.tex

I then opened Untitled.1 in my editor and changed:

%%DocumentFonts: cmr8 cmr10

to:

%%DocumentFonts: CMR8 CMR10

Then I ran:

dvips -o Untitled_pics.ps Untitled.dvi

No warning messages this time!

Then I did this:

ps2pdf Untitled_pics.ps

And got the file Untitled_pics.pdf which was correct! 

Now I started searching and found:

/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/fonts/map/dvips/amsfonts/cm.map

Which has this content:

cmb10    CMB10    <cmb10.pfb
cmbsy10  CMBSY10  <cmbsy10.pfb
cmbx5    CMBX5    <cmbx5.pfb
...

I don't know much about these files, but it appears to be mapping the lower case names to upper case, which may be what is needed. Now, is this map file enabled? How can I tell? And if not, how can I enable it?

David.
