[tlbuild] Custom-built xdvipdfmx cannot find pdftex.map on a basic-scheme TDS

[Paul Vojta]

The TEXFONTMAPS value in my texmf.cnf is:

	TEXFONTMAPS = $TEXMFDOTDIR;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{$progname,pdftex,dvips,}//

This is the same as in Master/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf in the texlive
source distribution.

It doesn't contain an updmap suffix because the // at the end of TEXFONTMAPS
indicates to kpathsea that it should search all subdirectories.

Sincerely,


Paul Vojta
