Thank you very much for your help and going in this again. And thank you 
for pointing out tldoc.pdf very much! This helps me a lot!

With your help again I have looked into it again. I have done a big error 
and, please let me explain:

First: Thank you very much for pointing this out again. Yes, I have read 
that answer.
Please don't be angry, could it be that the file

dsrom12.tfm

is missing in the TeTex-Distribution? I have to install it by hand and now 
it is working. Puh, hard work, sorry for that. Because I have installed the 
fonts manually under \texmf-var\fonts\tfm this was working but removing 
this don't. I have checked if the *.tfm files were installed but I don't 
have checked if they have been complete. This was totally my fault I should 
have to check _first_ if updmap is working or not and _then_ looking why 
pdflatex is still not finding the font. I'm very sorry.

But: I still have problems with updmap. Please correct me if I'm wrong 
here: updmap --disable dstroke.map _is_ working. Then dstroke.map is 
commented out in updmap.cfg. But updmap --enable MixedMap dstroke.map does 
_not_ work. I have to manually remove the comment symbol. This was my next 
error: After Fabrice's correction in updmap.pl I have thought this should 
work. So I was disabling dstroke.map by the above command and then I was 
not able to enable it. This confuses me because with other map files in 
updmap.cfg I was able to disable and enable them by command.

And pdflatex is now working and windvi is still not working (not displaying 
the doublestroke fonts and trying to call Metafont) but yesterday I get it 
to work and today I don't know what I have changed...:
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 dsrom12

Best regards
