OK, the files are definitely found :

and tbe map entry in PdfTeX.map was inserted by "updmap"
using "webo.map" as its source.

Yes, did all that, and even did

	updmap-sys --enable Map ./webo.map

with a copy of webo.map in the current directory, and thus

it is valid for PdfLaTeX, even if it breaks every rule
in L2TabuEN :-)

Hmm, I wonder what I am doing wrong ...
