The problems seems in how I call dvips. By default I call dvips with the 
following flags:

	-u +psfonts.map -u +pdftex.map

when I want maximum use of type1 fonts and

	-u psfonts.map

when I want minimum use of type 1 fonts.

With the latter, I get correct output, with the former (which normally 
works, I never encountered this problem before) I get this problem. I am 
unsure if this is the result of the recent changes Thomas made to the 
updmap system (and I wonder now at all if with the new updmap system I 
can still do a dynamic choice between two ways of running dvips and 
how). Is that at all possible? Thomas?
